LITCI3304 The Victorian Age in Literature
This course offers students an overview of a significant period in English Literature, with a strong emphasis on social and cultural developments reflected in fiction, poetry, nonfiction and drama texts. The study of specific themes such as child labour, poverty and class structure, the `Woman Question,¿ the rise of democracy, and the rise of the novel, are used to show how Victorian literature can help us to understand not only modern Australian literature and society, but also some aspects of social and political change in the developing world. Literary genres and topics include Romantic and Victorian poetry, serialised fiction, and the concept of `Victorianism.¿ Connections with the visual arts are explored. Authors studied may include Charles Dickens, Emily Bronte, Alfred Tennyson, Christina Rossetti, George Eliot, Wilkie Collins, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Oscar Wilde.

A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
