ENGL 389: Topics in Children's Literature
Topic: Visions of Utopia and Dystopia
Instructor: Dr. William Thompson
From Alice’s Adventures to The Hunger Games, children’s and young adult books consistently reimagine utopias and dystopias. This course examines the ways these polarized and often conflicting states represent a spectrum—from the nostalgic and the sentimental to the political and the subversive—along which to interrogate both the figure of the child and the construction of childhood.
Prerequisites: Minimum grade of C- in 6 credits of 100 level University English except ENGL 108, ENGL 111 and ENGL 199.
ENGL 391: Topics in Literary Theory
Topic: Culture and Media
Instructor: Dr. Josh Toth
This course focuses on theories of culture and media, and the ways these theories inform the practice of literary production and study. Students are exposed to a broad range of primary texts by influential theorists—e.g. Plato, Aristotle, Marx, Freud, McLuhan, Foucault, Jameson, Hayles, and Žižek. The course is both an historical survey of influential theoretical texts and an introduction to theory as a tool for literary interpretation. Students encounter and examine the various recurrent themes or problems that define media and cultural studies: from the cultural function of representative art to the narrative possibilities of hypertext and electronic media.
Prerequisites: A minimum grade of C- in 6 credits of 200 or 300 level university courses.
ENGL 401: Studies in Genres
Topic: Leaves of Grass 1856 and 1860 editions
Instructor: Dr. David Grant
In this course, students will study the 1856 and 1860 editions of Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, both vastly different from the two editions that are more commonly read, the shorter 1855 and longer 1892 editions. We will study the two editions both individually and for the purpose of comparing them as poetry cycles, each with a distinctive structure and line of development. Most student presentations, however, will be on single poems or clusters within one or both editions. While studying the two editions, we will also explore the ways the cycles intervene, directly and indirectly, into the disputes that gripped the nation in the tumultuous decade before the American civil war—disputes over slavery, Union, and the nation’s revolutionary heritage. The primary texts will be the University of Iowa Press’s 1860 edition and the digital 1856 edition available through the Walt Whitman Archive.
Prerequisites: Minimum grade of C- in 12 credits of 200- or 300-level English courses.
ENGL 401: Studies in Genres
Topic: Short Story Collections in the Academy and Literary Marketplace
Instructor: Dr. Sarah Copland
How does publication context—in a collection, a periodical, or an anthology, for example—affect the production and reception of short fiction? What makes a short story collection a collection? Must it have a unifying principle? What kinds of textual features might function as unifying principles? What is the relationship between the short story collection and the short story cycle? How has the short story collection developed, in the breadth and depth of its interests, forms, techniques, publication formats, practitioners, and readership over the past century? This course invites students to explore these questions via engagement with a range of modern and contemporary short story collections as well as with short story theory, genre theory, and studies in book history and print culture. Exploring these questions from a range of theoretical perspectives while reading a range of modern and contemporary short story collections will also help students to understand and respond to the form’s continuing marginalization in the academy and in the literary marketplace.
Prerequisites: Minimum grade of C- in 12 credits of 200- or 300-level English courses.
ENGL 402: Studies in Authors
Topic: Raymond Carver
Instructor: Dr. Don McMann
When Raymond Carver’s story collection What We Talk About When We Talk About Love came out in 1981, it had been the object of drastic changes by Carver’s long-time editor, Gordon Lish. Lish changed characters, endings, settings—even titles of stories. As Carver biographer Carol Sklenicka reports, Carver “had urged Lish to take a pencil to the stories. He had not expected him to take a meat cleaver to them.” And Carver was not happy. This course examines Carver’s collection as it was edited by Lish and as Carver later restored it. We will discuss Carver’s fiction and the writer/editor relationship.
Prerequisites: Minimum grade of C- in 12 credits of 200- or 300-level English courses.
Winter 2019
ENGL 381: Topics in Post-Colonial Literature
Topic: English in India, India in English
Instructor: Dr. Sara Grewal
Since its inception in the late 1800s—and despite the fraught history of English in India as a legacy of British colonialism—Indian writing in English has blossomed into a widely respected and impressive body of work, featuring writers from both the Subcontinent and the South Asian diaspora. While even today English necessarily implies reference to the colonial moment in India, how might Indian and Indian-heritage writers use English to interrogate, interrupt, or capitulate to other inheritances of colonialism? How does English signal both elitism (given limited access to English medium education in India) and egalitarianism (given its status as both a national language of India and a seemingly secular lingua franca)? Keeping these questions in mind, we will examine the history of English writing from and about India. We will begin with Thomas Macaulay’s infamous 1835 “Minute” on Indian Education, which denigrates the value of indigenous languages and literatures, instead promoting English-language education with the aim of producing "a class of persons, INdina in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals and in intellect.” We will then examine how early twentieth century Indian nationalist writers fulfilled, interrupted, and exceeded this goal of Anglicization. We will end the course with several novels by prominent Indian and Indian-heritage writers, including works by Salman Rushdie and Arundhati Roy. By examining these key moments in English-language writing for and about Indians, we will analyze how global English continues to shape and be shaped by (post-)colonialism.
Prerequisites: A minimum grade of C- in 6 credits of university English except ENGL 108, ENGL 111 and ENGL 199.
ENGL 337: Topics in English Renaissance Literature
Topic: The Early Tudor Period
Instructor: Dr. Romuald Lakowski
This course explores the literature of the Sixteenth-Century English Renaissance, including both works of poetry and prose. It may also include some non-Shakespearean drama as well.
Prerequisites: A minimum grade of C- in 6 credits of university English except ENGL 108, ENGL 111 and ENGL 199.
ENGL 342: Topics in the Long 18th Century Literature
Topic: Revolutionary Women Writers of the Long Eighteenth Century
Instructor: Dr. Elizabeth Hollis-Berry
During a period marked by revolutionary change and peopled by remarkable revolutionaries, diverse pioneering women took the lead in the hot commodity of the new print culture. By writing against the gendered assumption that publication was akin to whoredom, these women broke through centuries of proscriptions against women operating openly as authors in the public sphere, their powerful achievements inscribed across a wide domain of interests and genres. Writers studied may include Aphra Behn, Delarivier Manley, Mary Astell, Margaret Cavendish, Susannah Centlivre, Mary Pix, Catharine Trotter, Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and Mary Wollstonecraft.
Prerequisites: A minimum grade of C- in six credits of university English, not including English 108, English 111, or English 199.
ENGL 364: Topics in 20th and 21st Century Literature
Topic: Magic Realism
Instructor: Dr. Mike Perschon
The late fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett said that Magic Realism “is like a polite way of saying you write fantasy,” while fellow fantasy writer Gene Wolf said that “magic realism is fantasy written by people who speak Spanish.” While Magic Realism undoubtedly exists on the liminal borders of fantasy, and was certainly given global attention through Latin-American writers like Gabriel Garcia-Marquez and Isabel Allende, the fuzzy nature of magic realism’s genre and geographic borders continue to make it difficult to define. What is the difference between the fantasy of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and the magic realism of Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children? Can magic realism be confined to Latin America, or is there a tradition of magic realism in Britain, the United States, and Canada? We will investigate these questions and others in this course by looking at three well-known works of magic realism in English: Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie, Beloved by Toni Morrison and Life of Pi by Yann Martel. In the second half of the course we will push at the fuzzy borders by reading novels which exist on the fuzzy borderlands of magic realism: The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker, and Touch by Alexi Zentner.
Prerequisites: A minimum grade of C- in six credits of university English, not including English 108, English 111, or English 199.
ENGL 368: Topics in Race and Gender
Topic: The Post Human
Instructor: Dr. Josh Toth
This course explores the idea of the “posthuman” as it relates to problems of race, gender, and anthropocentrism in American society. The texts studied will be as varied as the “cyborgs” and “monsters” depicted – from novels like Kathy Acker’s Empire of Senseless and Octavia Butler’s Dawn to Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and David Eick & Ronald D. Moore’s re-imagining of the 1970s classic Battlestar Galactica. In considering such texts, students will grapple with two distinct but interconnected issues: 1) the way in which the computerization and bio-manipulation of “humanity” has undermined our ability to appeal to a universal moral core, or “soul”; and 2) the way in which the growing reality of the cyborg and/or transhuman liberates us from the restrictions of “humanism” – i.e. the philosophical position that there is an essential human quality that can be identified and thus employed as an excuse for hatred and exclusionary behavior (from misogyny, to racism, to animal cruelty).
Prerequisites: A minimum grade of C- in six credits of university English, not including English 108, English 111, or English 199.
ENGL 402: Studies in Authors
Topic: Charles Dickens's Bleak House in Parts
Instructor: Dr. Daniel Martin
In this seminar, students will partake in a kind of experiment by reading Charles Dickens’s Bleak House (1852-53) following, on a week-to-week basis, its original serialized installments. The novel began its monthly serial run in March 1852, concluding approximately a year and half later in September 1853. Seminar discussions will focus on questions related to the economic and cultural history of Victorian novel serialization, the serial format and its effect on the temporality of the reading experience, and Dickens’s technical expertise in serialized plot and narrative discourse. While seminar discussions will also focus on thematic developments in the novel and theoretical interpretations, they will do so in accordance with how meaning develops serially during the reading process.
Prerequisites: Minimum grade of C- in 12 credits of 200- or 300-level English courses.
ENGL 489: Literary Themes, Traditions, and Phenomena
Topic: Animals in Literature
Instructor: Dr. Paul Lumsden
This course will investigate the literary and cultural representation of the natural world with particular attention to how wild and domestic animals have been constructed and to what end they have been used. It is a powerful human desire to want to know animals, but our attempts to imagine them are inaccurate at best, anthropocentric at worst. They are animal constructs and figurative appropriations of human desires. We will consider the traditions of representation, embedded in historical documents and texts, to substantiate the varied epistemological attitudes towards the natural world and its inhabitants. In this course we will transcend the traditional, national, historical and theoretical boundaries of literary studies, and incorporate as many as possible to illustrate the fraught relationship between man and animal.
Prerequisites: Minimum grade of C- in 12 credits of 200- or 300-level English courses.
