תאריך עדכון: 13.2.11 שם הקורס: Nineteenth Century English Literature מספר הקורס: 37-302-01 שם המרצה: Dr. Daniel Feldman סוג הקורס: Lecture שנת לימודים: תשע"ב סמסטר: 2 היקף שעות: 4 אתר הקורס באינטרנט: א. מטרות הקורס (מטרות על / מטרות ספציפיות): Like all literary courses, English 302 is primarily in service of advancing your analytic and critical skills -- skills which will serve you throughout your life. The authors (and I) will exhort you to comprehend complex arguments and language, and to fashion your own lucid, compelling arguments in response. Our overarching goal is to expand our collective capacities as readers, thinkers, writers, and speakers. Assignments help lead to that goal. ב. תוכן הקורס: English 302 is a comprehensive survey of nineteenth-century English literature. This period has special bearing on the development of literature, Western history, and the way we see the world today. We will study two great periods of anglophone culture: the Romantic and Victorian periods. Our course is evenly divided between these two eras. We begin by meeting several towering figures of British literature, including Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Keats, and by reading selections of the monumental and often profound texts they produced. After a challenging first half of the semester with the Romantics, we will switch to prose, predominantly fiction, for our examination of the Romantics, including the rapidly changing social issues they faced. Though the authors we examine in this course sometimes make strenuous demands on us as contemporary readers, we will be studying texts that lay the cornerstones for the modern world. Readings Our course covers material published before 1923 and therefore blissfully exempt from copyright protections. Virtually all readings (except suggested secondary sources) are universally available thanks to the marvels of the Internet. On the course readings page you will find links to suggested versions of the primary readings (usually chosen because they offer line numbers), but any copy will do. Useful repositories of open-access texts in multiple formats include Project Gutenberg, the Internet Archive, Bartleby, and ManyBooks. When possible, however, you should consult the Norton Anthology of English Literature, volume 2, as it will save you time by referring you directly to the exact excerpts we will use and provide you with helpful notes and introductions. Please be sure to bring a digital or hard copy of readings with you to class. Schedule of readings Weeks 1 and 2. Wordsworth Weeks 3 and 4. Coleridge & Shelley to Keats Weeks 5 and 6.
