ENGL 332 18TH C BRIT LIT: POETRY & PROSE OF RESTO Credits 3.00 Fall 00
* DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP I
This course will provide an introductory survey of the literature and culture
of the Restoration and eighteenth century. We will read a representative range
of prose and poetry from a volatile and exciting age of plots, revolution, and
literary transformation. As England struggled with the concept of monarchy,
questioned the value of social and sexual hierarchy, and witnessed the
increasing prominence of a "middling" or middle class, the category
"literature" began to assume its modern integrity and coherence; our notions of
"authorship" and the aesthetic took shape; and women and laboring men for the
first time became significant forces in the reading and writing of literature.
Our readings will cover poems of several genres, short prose narratives,
essays, and philosophical treatises. Authors will include Bunyan, Butler,
Rochester, Dryden, Behn, Finch, Astell, Swift, Defoe, Addison and Steele,
Locke, Hume, Pope, Montagu, Duck, Collier, Leapor, Collins, Gray, Haywood,
Johnson, Smith, Burke, Goldsmith, Crabbe, Boswell, and others.

ENGL 336 THE GOTHIC AND CONSTRUCTIONS OF NATIONAL Credits 3.00 Fall 00
This course asks why U.S. writing from the late eighteenth-century novels of
Charles Brockden Brown to the contemporary fiction of Toni Morrison and
Stephen King has consistently turned to the gothic form to define a national
literary identity. We will assess how the ghostly visions of the undead and
the "uncanny" create a distinctly "American" literature for "high brow" and
"low brow" readers/writers alike. More particularly, we will consider how U.S.
writers use these gothic devices to script the diverse racial identies of the
populace into a U.S. narrative and how the gothic represents the writers' fears
that such racial identities will disrupt the cohesiveness of a distinct
national literature. We will read work by Charles Brockden Brown, Edgar Allen
Poe, Stephen King, John Winthrop, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Harriet Jacobs,
William Faulkner and Toni Morrison, among others.

ENGL 516 CHAUCER AND THE SUBVERSIVE OTHER: WOMEN, Credits 3.00 Fall 00
A fourteenth-century poet who worked for the king as controller of customs and

multicultural indicators expressive of nation and religion. This seminar will
explore exemplary treatments of alterity and difference in Chaucer and the
complex poetic strategies he chose to conceal his sympathies. Also listed as
