The Picture of Dorian Gray: PART 2

Having done the research that the previous post requires, proceed to do the following:

1. As you read the first seven, perhaps ten (!) chapters of the novel, look for traces of things Victorian (in description of setting, characterization, point of view, tone, imagery).

2. Have these examples in your notebooks, ready to present during classes next week. At all times.

The Picture of Dorian Gray: PART 1

The novel by Oscar Wilde is perhaps the finest example of late Victorian fiction.
I am certain that most of you have heard of this moniker/label before. But, as always, getting to the root of it is not the shortest oj journeys.

Hence, to work:

1. go to http://www.victorianweb.org/

2. browse around, look, read, take notes. NO need to comment/post unless you feel compelled.
