Pre-Reading Visual Analysis Activity: William Holman Hunt’s The Awakening Conscience (1853) Hueso-Vasallo, Manuel Literatura inglesa - S.XIX The following is a method I’ve employed in several subjects in the degree in English Studies at the University of Málaga, more specifically in the subjects “Literatura Inglesa I (Novela)” y “Literatura Inglesa III (Poesía)”. This practice has as its main aim to introduce students to the Victorian era (1837-1901) visually. To achieve this, I show students William Holman Hunt’s painting The Awakening Conscience (1853) and guide them through an analysis of its symbolism and themes. Afterwards, I encourage them to relate what they have learned to the literature and cultural concerns of the period. This method succeeds in helping students to understand some of the main issues they need to pay attention to when we start analysing either the novels or the poetry of the period. The activity, carried out in English, is detailed below. 2025-06-10T09:44:43Z 2025-06-10T09:44:43Z 2024 learning object https://hdl.handle.net/10630/38949 eng Literatura Inglesa I (Novela) Literatura Inglesa III (Poesía) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ open access Atribución 4.0 Internacional
