Investigating The Victorian Era

Tuesday's introduction to this course gave me a sharper focus on what exactly we'll be studying and examining. I found the new Sherlock Holmes film to be very relative to the subjects we will be studying. What I thought was most interesting was the early,yet advance study in science and logic. Many folks around this time seem to be have moved away from simply taking something at face value. For example, someone drowned in the river because their body was found there. There's actual investigation going on using scientific techniques. The Victorian Era is a time of investigation; not only in policing the streets of London,but within the individual. How esle could one explain the gradual emergence of The New Woman if women had not investigated the role they played in society.

Intro to Me

My name is Teresha (hi)! I am transferring student from Delgado Community College and a senior. I'm really looking forward to this class. Judging from the syllabus, the books we are going to read seem interesting. I don't too much about Victorian litearture or maybe I do... Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Jungle Books, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are stories that resonate with me. I do not know much about the context Victorian literature. So I look forward to learning more so, than what I know at present. Peace out!
