	Description
Introductory activities	The first class will introduce this module of literature, its contents, reading texts, methodology, exams and bibliography. It is important that all students attend regularly.
Seminars	The seminars will focus on the different contents related to the literature of the 19th century. There will be general introductions to the literary and cultural contexts, which will be done with power-point presentations. The seminars will also be practical and based on the reading of texts in your Dossier.
Lecture	Part of this course will be based on lectures, especially the Theory classes. You will be introduced to different literary theories and also social and ideological theories which will help you to understand how the British Empire used power strategies to categorise and then discriminate. An important aspect of Imperialism was also the interest of various social groups trying to join forces to construct utopian societies.
Personal tuition	I will be pleased to receive students at my office for any kind of doubt or consultation. Let me know in advance, either through email or in class, when you would like to talk to me You can also write to my email and tell me about your concerns.
Presentations / expositions	Apart from writing an academic essay, you will be asked to give a power-point presentation in English. Again, you should follow the instructions in your Dossier very carefully.
