This class will analyse four representative novels to illustrate how and why one of the most ambiguous terms in the history of culture and literature, i.e. "nature" has formally and functionally evolved throughout the 19th century.
A major focus will be laid on the development from enlightened to romantic to realist features in the selected novels.
