ENG/LIN 211-010 MTWR 1:00pm-3:30pm Guindon

INTRODUCTION TO LINGUISTICS
This course will introduce and explore the forms and structures of human language, how they are similar, how they are recorded, and how they can change over time. Significant sections of the course will cover:
-human speech sounds and how they are used (Why, for instance is 'blaps' a possible English word, but not 'bspla'? Why is the 's' at the end of 'leaves' actually pronounced as a 'z'?)
-word-formation (Why can we form 'reality' out of 'real + ity' and 'sanity' out of 'sane + ity', but not 'happity' out of 'happy + ity?)
-sentence structure (Why is 'pretty women and horses' ambiguous? How are the two phrases in 'looking sharp, looking for love' different?)
Students can expect daily homework assignments designed to enable them to understand linguistic forms, and to deduce linguistic structures by applying methods of structural analysis to data drawn from a variety of languages. Test formats will generally be based on the homework.

INTRODUCTION TO LINGUISTICS II
This course is the second semester of a two-semester sequence introducing the study of Linguistics. This course focuses on the social aspects of language: semantics, pragmatics, conversational interaction, language variation, dialects, signed languages, second language acquisition, and the acquisition of language by children. Regular quizzes, daily homework assignments, midterm and final. Prereq: ENG/LIN 211.

SURVEY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE I
English 251 surveys American literature from the Colonial era to the Civil War. In examining a broad selection of literary works from the early settlers to the outbreak of the war, this course should remind students of this period's energy as it responded to various modes of experience and perception. Discussions of texts will be supplemented with lectures on relevant historical and cultural materials.
Through discussions and writing assignments, students will be encouraged to think critically and systematically, to work towards a conclusion, and to substantiate it with textual evidence. Final grades will be based on students' contribution to class discussion, two short assigned papers, several written response exercises, and a final exam.

FILM CRITICISM
We will screen about 15 war movies—most of them made in Hollywood, but some in France, Italy, and Australia—covering the wars fought in the Twentieth Century, from WW I to the GW I and Mogadishu. Some of the titles that we will consider are: WWI: All Quiet on the Western Front, Paths of Glory, Grand Illusion, and Gallipoli. WW II: Sands of Iwo Jima, Seven Beauties, The Best Years of Our Lives and Back to Bataan. Vietnam: Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Rambo II, Platoon and We Were Soldiers. GW I and beyond: Three Kings and Blackhawk Down. Please note that this is not intended to be only a “guy course.” The course does not pretend to celebrate war but to examine the ways that the film industry promotes and celebrates war even as it subverts and condemns it. Therefore students of both genders are invited and all are assured that the instructor has no political or military agenda to promote but rather that he proposes to investigate these movies in their historical, political, and cultural contexts, without any predetermined assumption or judgment to guide the investigation. We will screen most of the movies in class, but it will be necessary to schedule the viewing of three or four of them outside of class.

ENG 425G-010 MTWRF 9:30am-11:30am Foreman

SHAKESPEARE SURVEY
An introductory survey of Shakespeare's plays, covering all forms (comedies, histories, and tragedies) and periods (early, middle, and late), probably including (among others) A Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado about Nothing, 1 Henry IV, King Lear, Antony and Cleopatra, and The Winter's Tale.
Goals: to become familiar with the nature of Shakespeare's theater (physical and philosophical shape, performance as interpretation, visualization of written texts, audience as part of action, play as "play"); to become familiar with Shakespearean language (arguments, meanings, metaphors, puns, verse, poetry: wordplay), its sound, and its relation to "truth"; to study the way words make characters, and the way characters interact, verbally and visually; to study the way the structure of the plays produces meaning (function and order of scenes); to consider the social implications of the plays (for both the 16/17th and the 21st centuries).

SURVEY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE I
"But the cups did not grow into kettles," ends the tale told by Menominee elder, Waioskasit. Similarly, the early American literature from the 17th century oral traditions of Native Americans to the 19th century nearly modern poetry of Walt Whitman still seeks its kettle. This course will attempt to understand the culture that forms during that time by reading the prose, poetry, folktales and placing them in a historical and literary context. From the less than meek Anne Bradstreet to the reclusive Emily Dickinson, we'll meet the writers and their works to better understand who we are today. Two major essays, midterm and final examination, and several shorter writings.

THE SHORT STORY
Course meets June 12 through July 10, 2003.
We'll look at 20th century American short stories in unified collections, exploring what their evolving forms show us about the relationships between the modern and the post-modern periods. Readings include Hemingway, In our Time; O'Connor, Everything That Rises Must Converge; Faulkner, As I Lay Dying; Carver, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love; Munro, Friend of My Youth; Borges, Labyrinths; Moore, Self Help; Salinger, Nine Stories. Emphasis on class discussion. Two short papers; midterm; final.

BEGINNING WORKSHOP IN IMAGINATIVE WRITING: POETRY
A poetry writing workshop that focuses on how our writing improves when we are active members of a writing community. The workshop will act as this community; writers involved will be responsible for new work every week, while also being committed readers of their fellow members' work. As the weeks progress, we work to "experience" poetry, rather than "think through" poetry, understanding the difference between the academic-mind and the artist-mind.

ENG 207-002 W 3:00pm-5:30pm Moffett

BEGINNING WORKSHOP IN IMAGINATIVE WRITING: FICTION (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
What's the difference between science fiction and fantasy? Where does Stephen King fit in? We'll discuss these questions and others, agree on some definitions, and apply them to our reading of a selection of stories from the two leading genre magazines, Asimov's Science Fiction and Science Fiction and Fantasy. Over the course of the semester, each student will submit several short stories to be discussed in class. The class will run in "workshop" format, meaning that turning in stories is only part of your job. You will also be expected to put serious effort into critiquing other peoples' stories--thinking about where the stories work, and where and how they could be improved--and to contribute your ideas to class discussion. After the workshop in which a story is critiqued, the author will revise it in the light of class commentary and meet with the instructor to talk about the revision, after which the story will be revised again.
A writing workshop is a group effort, most successful when everyone puts lots of energy into both roles. Course grades will be based on the quality of the stories' final drafts, and on the quality (and quantity) of contributions to workshop discussion, in equal parts.

ENG 207-003 R 3:30pm-6:00pm Norman

BEGINNING WORKSHOP IN IMAGINATIVE WRITING: FICTION
We will concentrate on the essentials of fiction-voice, character, point of view, image, structure, and sequence-and the ways in which these mysteries intersect and cohere. We'll keep one eye on the rudiments of narrative technique-description, compression, exposition, and dialogue-and the other on the look-out for lateral moves along the lines of scrimmage. We'll forge taut and lyric sentences into chains of inevitable surprise. We'll find occult correspondences amidst reassuring dislocations, and start letting go of what we've been taught to keep hidden. Maybe we can even figure out what needs to be withheld. We'll write stories.
Or at least we'll try. Along the way, we enter into real and half-life dialogue with each other and everyone who dared to come before us-a heated conversation that's been going on for quite a while. We'll look at established texts: some will serve as paradigms for generating narrative, and some will instructively disrupt those very paradigms. Then you will put your own work on the table. And we'll look into it as closely as we can. The emphasis is on process. You should be willing to take chances, and ready to revise. Growth and forward movement will be rewarded.
As Henry James was wont to tantalize, the house of fiction has many windows. Let's try to break into some of them. Let's try to come away with something useful.

ENG 207-401 T 6:00pm-8:30pm Norman

BEGINNING WORKSHOP IN IMAGINATIVE WRITING: FICTION
"Gurney Norman's Short Story School" is a place for story writers and story tellers to meet regularly and practice their arts. The emphasis is on story writing but learning to tell a few tall tales, folk tales and personal anecdotes will be useful to aspiring fiction writers. Students will be asked to do weekly writing exercises both in and out of class. These exercises are designed to give the student writer practice in the basic elements of fiction including character development, story structure, dialogue and scene development. Students are expected to produce three "best effort" polished stories or personal narratives during the semester. We will read and discuss representative short stories by noted writers including Raymond Carver, Alice Walker, Bobbie Ann Mason, A. B. Guthrie, Jr., Louise Erdrich, Ernest Gaines and many others.
Students will be invited to read their work aloud in class for practice and for gentle critique by fellow students. English 207 Fiction is an introductory course that prepares students for the more advanced English 407 and 507 creative writing courses.

INTRODUCTION TO LINGUISTICS I
This course will introduce and explore the forms and structures of human language, how they are similar, how they are recorded, and how they can change over time. Significant sections of the course will cover:
-human speech sounds and how they are used (Why, for instance is 'blaps' a possible English word, but not 'bspla'? Why is the 's' at the end of 'leaves' actually pronounced as a 'z'?)
-word-formation (Why can we form 'reality' out of 'real + ity' and 'sanity' out of 'sane + ity', but not 'happity' out of 'happy + ity?)
-sentence structure (Why is 'pretty women and horses' ambiguous? How are the two phrases in 'looking sharp, looking for love' different?)
Students can expect daily homework assignments designed to enable them to understand linguistic forms, and to deduce linguistic structures by applying methods of structural analysis to data drawn from a variety of languages. Test formats will generally be based on the homework.

INTRODUCTION TO LINGUISTICS II
PREREQUISITE: ENG/LIN 211 completed in Fall 2002 or Spring 2003
This course is the second semester of a sequence of introductory courses on the scientific study of human language. Credit will not be given to students who have credit for ENG/LIN 211 prior to Fall 2002.
PURPOSE of the course: To expand students' knowledge of linguistics as an academic discipline through a study of various sub-fields of Applied Linguistics, focusing on the main issues and problems of interest in semantics, first and second language acquisition, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, sociolinguistics, and animal communication. GOAL of the course: To demonstrate how language is acquired and used as a system communication.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The student will be able to analyze language data, formulate and test hypotheses, and argue persuasively for one solution over another. These skills will be developed by doing linguistic analyses: discovering patterns of acquisition and use in data drawn from English and a variety of foreign languages. Learning to do this kind of analysis is the most important part of the course.
METHOD: Daily quizlets; quizzes on individual chapters; exams on related chapters; frequent analytical exercises to reinforce what has been learned in class. No cumulative mid-term or final.
TEXTS: Contemporary Linguistics, William O'Grady, et al; 4th edition. Bedford/St. Martin's; the Workbook is NOT required for this course.

LITERATURE & GENRE: THE NOVEL
This course follows the development of the novel as a genre from 200 A.D. to 1998. Topics to be considered: the relationship between the novel and the romance; the novel in history and the history of the novel; parody and intertextuality; the novel and popular culture. The reading list features Longus's Daphnis and Chloe, Heliodorus's An Ethiopian Romance, Fielding's Tom Jones, Burney's Evelina, Nabokov's Lolita, and McEwan's Atonement. This is a demanding class. Each novel on the list is challenging in a different way, and several of them pose difficult questions that we may not be able to answer. Course requirements include short bi-weekly papers, two longer papers, a midterm, and a final.

LITERATURE & GENRE: READING AND STUDYING FICTIONS
Concentrating on selected short stories and novels, this course will focus on the ways that fictional storytelling differs from other kinds of narrative art and practice such as journalism or biography. We will consider different elements and aspects of short story and novelistic art, and on critical approaches to kinds of narrative such as fantasy fiction and the detective novel. Throughout, we will keep asking how stories work, and what work they do in human culture and society. Students will write regularly, and in a range of different forms, in the course of responding to and thinking critically about stories.

ENG 231-401 TR 6:00pm-7:15pm Sanders

LITERATURE & GENRE: SCIENCE FICTION
This course will develop the skills necessary to a life-long appreciation of literature through one genre: science fiction. We will read science fiction from a wide variety of sources: gay, white, straight, lesbian, black, colonial, and others. We won't kill these books by over-analyzing them, but we will learn how to watch for the kinds of cues authors build into their texts, cues that help us enjoy science fiction more. Our assignments will include five short papers, objective quizzes, and two exams. The assignments will build on one another, so that each one is teaching students how to excel at the next. By the end of the semester, these assignments will have helped us learn how to read closely and with an eye to how author, reader, text, and history interact. Assignments will include one film, three novels (by Alan Moore, Nicola Griffith, and Samuel R. Delany), and short stories by Orson Scott Card, Ursula K. Le Guin, John Kessel, William Gibson, and others.

INTRODUCTION TO WOMEN'S LITERATURE: SPECIAL THEMES
This survey of American women's writing will focus on the following themes: women and identity, sexuality, and work. Our primary focus will be twentieth- and twenty-first century women's writing, starting in the 1920s and moving, decade by decade, into 2003. This class will take both a historical and cultural approach to gender studies and women's writing, as well as illuminating various feminist literary methodologies. Class participation, frequent response papers, and a final project are required.
Tentative reading list: Dorothy Parker's short stories, Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, Lillian Smith's Strange Fruit, Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" and Life Among Savages, Sylvia Plath's poetry and fiction, Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Marya Hornbacher's Wasted, and Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickle and Dimed.

SURVEY OF WESTERN LIT. FROM THE GREEKS THROUGH THE RENAISSANCE
English 261 surveys Western World literature from the time of Homer to the 17th century, focusing upon works of great literary merit which represent main elements in the evolving culture. In addition, the course will include some works from non-Western cultures. As we trace the shifting period styles, certain repeated themes will lend continuity to the course: life as a voyage or pilgrimage; human origins and purpose and therefore our relatedness to and alienation from nature, the gods, or God; the human as heroic, tragic, comic; what, for each author, seems to constitute success; and the place of the artist in or on the fringes of society.
There will be 3 examinations, one paper and several short writing assignments.

ENG 261-201 Telecourse Uebel

SURVEY OF WESTERN LIT. FROM THE GREEKS THROUGH THE RENAISSANCE
This is a television course based on the PBS program "Living Literature: The Classics and You," involving one hour-long television class per week. Student work will be web-based, and will involve short written exercises in addition to two short essay exams. We will study several of the primary literary texts that have shaped Western culture from the Bible to the English renaissance.
Themes emerging during the course will include: the problem of identity (Who am I? Where did I come from?), the problem of codes and value systems (How should I live?), the problem of society formation, God and religion illusion and reality, and art and the artist.
Readings include: Genesis, The Book of Job, Homer's Iliad, Sophocles's Antigone, Virgil's Aeneid, Dante's Inferno, and Shakespeare's Hamlet.

ENG 264 and AAS 264 are the same course.
Beginning with works from the 17th century, and ending with contemporary writers, this course will trace the development of the theme of "identity" within and across specific periods of the African-American literary tradition, including: slavery; Emancipation and Reconstruction; the Harlem Renaissance; the Jim Crow Era; the Pan-African movement; and the Black Power and Civil Rights Movements. We will examine the ways in which the individual and collective search for an African-American identity has manifested itself within the literary tradition. We will trace the connections between the search for both an individual and collective self, especially as it pertains to a sense of place, a sense of heritage, and a sense of belonging.

THE OLD TESTAMENT AS LITERATURE
This course is an introduction to the study of both the Hebrew Bible, on which we will spend most of our energies during the semester, and the New Testament. Students will learn to master the analytical techniques with which scholars of literature deal with biblical materials and the problems of translation and narrative continuity that they pose. We will start by examining competing theories of authorship, treating the texts before us as literary artifacts and not as the basis of religious doctrine, and we will end the course by considering ways in which the Bible has been used by poets and novelists throughout literary history.

ENG 281-001 MWF 11:00am-11:50am Prats, A.

INTRODUCTION TO FILM
This section of English 281 will be a cultural, historical, and aesthetic consideration of some fifteen war movies, both foreign and American, silent and sound, covering most of the wars in the past century, from All Quiet on the Western Front, Grand Illusion, Paths of Glory, and Gallipoli, on through Sands of Iwo Jima, Back to Bataan, The Best Years of Our Lives, Seven Beauties and Black Rain--on to Vietnam and Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Apocalypse Now, and We Were Soldiers and perhaps ending with the GW I Three Kings. This course does not encourage those who would see it exclusively as a "guy course": don't expect militaristic, pro-war sentiment to rule the critiques of the movies. All, therefore-of both genders and of all political persuasions-are most cordially invited to participate in this dialogue about the nature of the heroic and the tragic, of the triumphant and the abject, of war's enduring appeal and its everlasting misery. There will be assigned readings for consideration in the context of the movies-from selections from the Iliad and Henry V to William James's "The Moral Equivalent of War." The class will be structured in such a way as to allow small groups of students to lead discussion on at least one day of the week. Please note: all film viewing will be outside of class time, in the Language Lab, on Tuesdays at 2:00 PM and again at 7:00 PM. We will show the movies twice in the given Tuesday-not so that we may make it convenient for you to make the movies but to ensure that you are viewing the film in as much detail as possible. If, therefore, you cannot make the Tuesday screenings, and if you don't have other access to the films, you cannot expect to do well in this course and are accordingly discouraged from enrolling.

ENG 330-001 MWF 11:00am-11:50am White, P.

TEXT AND CONTEXT: THEATER OF THE ABSURD
Imagine a world reduced to a couple of tramps and a single tree, a mere stage prop tree at that, or a community where reversed evolution transforms humans into rhinos, or a bawdy house where a bishop and others give life to their sordid fantasies. These and other surprising manifestations of the Theater of the Absurd made their first appearance before astonished and outraged audiences in the 50's. In this course we will explore some major figures of the Theater of the Absurd (principally Beckett, Ionesco, Genet, and Pinter) in an effort to define the changes they brought to dramatic art in the 50's. Audiences soon discovered in these plays a fresh manner of handling the presentation of character, plot and setting. We will investigate early reviews of their plays to establish how critics and the audiences responded to their innovations, and discuss some of the conventions of mainstream drama which they challenged, reading an Ibsen play to sample those conventions. We will research other literary responses to realism and rationalism, among them, Symbolism, Dada, Surrealism and existentialism. We will research the culture of the post-war years to gauge the prevailing attitude of that time when The Power of Positive Thinking confronted this bewildering celebration of negativism, absurdity, and the irrational. We will enjoy early films of Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and other tramps and clowns of the silent era. Since watching a performance of a play is a very different experience from reading it, we will also view a number of filmed Beckett plays (and others if I can get them), noting how the performance enriches/changes the ways we interpret. We will explore the reasons why form and content of absurdist drama invites multiple interpretations. We will try to define how these new forms and content promotes such a radical possibility. Finally, we will examine more recent criticism of absurd drama to assess its place in literature.

Since the objective here is to assist you in learning how to research and to utilize data you collect from literary and other sources, expect to spend considerable time in the library engaged in a treasure hunt, digging many holes without success before encountering the prize. Just as scholars publish their bibliographies to indicate where their searches have led them, to assist other classmates you will be expected to report on your own successes and failures. You will be expected to attend classes, to ask questions and seek answers, and to participate. Expect a series of short research projects and a longer final paper.

TEXT AND CONTEXT: MELVILLE AND THE CIRCUS
This course would take as the primary texts The Norton Critical Edition of The Confidence Man and any edition (I like the Dover dollar book) of "Bartleby" and look at these through the eyes of the P.T. Barnum world in the mid 19th century, and the growing power of stock speculators and scam artists. By using news accounts (from the New York Herald and New York Times, etc.) and other writers of the period (many in the Norton edition) we could gain a better understanding of the seldom read The Confidence Man, and reinterpret "Bartleby" through the cistern of Wall Street in the 1850s.
There are so many possibilities.
We would write one essay 7-10 pages long and several shorter (2-3 pages) essays as well as develop research and analytical skills.

TEXT AND CONTEXT: MAILER'S WAR
ENG 330 is a new course designed for majors (or prospective ones) to afford them the opportunity to study a single text or cluster of texts in its literary, cultural, historical, and intellectual context. Its pace is slow, its procedure methodical, and its focus intense.
To this end, we will spend our semester studying Norman Mailer's masterpiece, The Naked and the Dead. Published in 1948--Mailer was just 25 years old when he wrote it--the book immediately received unprecedented critical acclaim, and is now rightly hailed as one of the finest American novels. Mailer's story about a platoon of thirteen American soldiers stationed on the Japanese-held island of Anopopei in the Pacific is told with almost journalistic detail, recording the traumatic lives of men at war. We will think deeply about this novel (we will read it at least twice), its place in the American canon, in wartime and post-war American culture, in the American psychiatric tradition, and in the historical record of WWII. We will reflect on Mailer's life and thought, locate and read contemporary reviews of the novel, study the medical literature concerning psychiatric war casualties, look at several army documentaries, read the memoirs and letters of WWII servicemen, think about the Pacific war on film, and much more.
Based on the semester's research, students will write a longer essay situating the novel in one of its multiple contexts. Students will also compile and annotate a bibliography that will be shared with other members of the class.

TEXT AND CONTEXT: BLEAK HOUSES AND UTOPIAN DREAMS: CONTEXTUALIZING A DICKENS' UNIVERSE
The text is Bleak House, the author is Charles Dickens, and the context ranges from Dickens' letters to nineteenth and twentieth century newspaper articles on jelly baby candy, from questions about nineteenth-century illustration to the scandals of nineteenth-century law, from serialized publishing practices to the fears about lending libraries. In this course we will approach this much studied novel by Dickens from a variety of perspectives, slowly developing a multi-faceted understanding of a literary text and its world by working together, slowly and carefully, toward the creation of a collaborative research project. In this class, I will be working alongside of you and will be sharing the trials and pitfalls of my own research with the class as we engage collectively in the project of shared research and as we encounter together the multiplicity of methodologies employed in scholarly inquiry. We will begin by working in small collectives, familiarizing ourselves with Dickens' novel and the variety of research metholodgies that might be employed to offer insight this text and its history. One of the assignments for the class will include keeping a reading and research journal, which you will exchange with another member of the class. In the class we will be lingering over one central text, reading it in novel form and in serial form, and contextualizing it from a variety of perspectives. For those of you who haven't read this novel, Bleak House is a wonderful text, full of intrigue and mayhem, madness and utopia. It is a prototypical detective novel of sorts and turns and returns to the story of an orphaned child. It is a text illustrative in many ways of mid-nineteenth-century fiction and of its larger social concerns. This course is an invitation to read it slowly and carefully and to read it with an eye toward cultivating your understanding of both the reading process and the work of literary analysis. The atmosphere of the class will stress collaboration and the sharing of student ideas. The assignments will most likely include a peer response research and reading journal, a presentation or two, and your participation in the building of a final, collaborative group project, which the entire class will develop as a collective.

SURVEY OF BRITISH LITERATURE I, BEOWULF TO MILTON
"Why read the classics?" That will be the topic of your final essay for this course. The syllabus will feature selections from Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Lanyer, Milton, and other dead poets. You will be free to argue against studying the classics-if you still want to, after reading and discussing some of the masterworks of early English literature.
Requirements include two brief essays (2-3 pages), one longer essay (6-8 pages), and a reading journal to be submitted in installments.

SURVEY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE I, ORIGINS TO 1865
This version of English 334 will address the cultural and historical possibilities of that distinctly New-World genre, "the Indian captivity narrative." We will begin with a brief view of the white captive among the Indians of the first-"discovered" places of the New World-Cuba, Florida, and Mexico-and will move quickly to cover the first captivity narratives of North America, beginning with John Smith's, and then (moving further north) we will examine in detail the captivities of Mary Rowlandson, Hannah Dustan, and Eunice Williams. Through the captivity narrative itself we will track American westward expansion, examining the captivity of Daniel Boone and also that of Mary Jemison, and will conclude the historical phase of the course with a look at the captivities of Sarah Wakefield, Mary Jordan, and Fanny Kelly. The course will then shift to fictional versions of the captivity narrative, beginning with Sedgwick's Hope Leslie, followed by Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans and Bird's Nick of the Woods. The rest of the course will explore the tradition of the Indian captive as it manifests itself in the movies of the Vietnam War: The Deer Hunter, Casualties of War, Apocalypse Now, and Rambo: First Blood, Part Two. If time allows, a possible look at the "captivities" of Patty Hearst, the Iran hostages (1979-80), Elizabeth Smart, and the POWs of GW II.

SURVEY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE II, 1865 TO PRESENT
A survey of selected fiction, poetry, drama, and essays from 1865 to about 1965 treating classic authors and texts from the period alongside voices from the margins of our national life: immigrants, Native American and African American writers. Our historical period reaches from the Civil's War's fracturing conclusion to the culmination of U.S. imperial achievement-although on the brink of the Vietnam debacle. Along the way: post-Civil War Reconstruction, industrialization and urbanization, segregation and civil rights agitation. This extraordinary period of growth is our context for considering the period's extraordinary literary growth, its movements and stellar figures. Our goal is to build a sense of the century's literary history from the interdisciplinary perspective of cultural and social change. Readings from an anthology, supplemented by a few novels and some on-line scholarly essays.

ENG 481G-001 MWF 10:00am-10:50am Foreman

STUDIES IN BRITISH LITERATURE: SHAKESPEARE AND FILM
This course is cross-listed with ENG 480G-001. A study of a variety of Shakespeare's plays in both written and filmed forms. We will begin with the poetic, dramatic, and (to some extent) theatrical values of Shakespeare's texts and thus especially with Shakespearean language ("wordplay") and the way words reveal, and hide, and make, character. Then we will turn to movies made of or from the plays and to the elaborate and subtle visual "language" movies use to tell stories. Inevitably, and intentionally, we will speak of what the filmmakers have "done to Shakespeare," but it is important to recognize that we will see the films not only as versions of the plays but also as original and integral works. We will also attend to way the intelligence and imagination of audiences, including ourselves, engage the gaps in time and culture back to other periods, people, and places--to Shakespeare as the 16th century became the 17th, to people in several countries a hundred years ago trying to figure out how to "film Shakespeare," to Laurence Olivier in World War II Britain, to Akira Kurosawa in Japan in the 1950s (and again in the 1980s), to Al Pacino in 1990s' America, and so forth. The sweep we make from Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus (c. 1592) to Julie Taymor's Titus (2000) should tell us something about the world over the last four hundred years and about ways of seeing it.
Plays/films to be covered are likely to include A Midsummer Night's Dream (with films by Reinhardt/Dieterle and Hoffman), Much Ado about Nothing (with film by Branagh), Richard III (with films by Pacino and Loncraine), Henry IV Parts 1 and 2 (with film by Welles [Chimes at Midnight]), Henry V (with films by Olivier and Branagh), King Lear (with films by Brook and Kurosawa [Ran]), Macbeth (with films by Polanski and Kurosawa [Throne of Blood]), and The Tempest (with film by Greenaway [Prospero's Books]). Viewing of films outside of class will be required.
NOTE: ENG 480G-001 and ENG 481G-001 are the same course this semester. (This ENG 481G topic was formerly offered under ENG 426G, Shakespeare Studies.) The two sections will meet at the same time and place with the same instructor and syllabus. Topics for papers and exams will vary somewhat to accommodate primary focus on play text or film, according to student interest. Students may register for whichever course ("film" or "literature") best suits their curricular plans.

STUDIES IN BRITISH LITERATURE: RENAISSANCE LYRIC POETRY
Satisfies the pre-1800 requirement for the English major.
In this course we will focus on six major lyric poets of the English Renaissance (Wyatt, Sidney, Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, Herbert), all of whom decisively influenced the literary projects of subsequent English and American poetry, and all of whom focused on, wrestled with, and threw themselves into the love of good and bad women and of God. We'll attend to the emergence of English lyric prosody and on lyric as a genre and as a form of personal and public expression. We'll also read around in relevant background materials such as the short poems of Dante, Petrarch, Horace, Ovid, and the Psalms.

STUDIES IN AMERICAN LITERATURE: SOUTHERN LITERATURE
This course will examine modern and contemporary southern literature and culture, specifically looking at the relationship between geographical place and memory. How has the "new" South been constructed and reconstructed through nostalgia, through an often nostalgic derealization of the past through the present. What has been e(raced)? What kinds of memories of home have been preserved and what others have been elided? The possible list of texts include: Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom and The Unvanquished, Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, Welty's Delta Wedding, Taylor's A Summons To Memphis, Percy's The Last Gentleman, Willie Morris's essays including "My Dog Skip," Crews's Childhood: A Biography of a Place, and Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina. We will also look to popular film narratives including weeks on John Sayles's films (Matewan, Passion Fish, and Lonestar) and Victor Nunez's films (Ulee's Gold and Ruby in Paradise).

ADVANCED WORKSHOP IN IMAGINATIVE WRITING: FICTION
This is an advanced undergraduate/graduate level course designed to explore in great depth the writing of fiction, especially the short story. Students will gain an extensive understanding of narrative form, and will examine many aspects of the story, including characterization, narrative motion, and the use of language and imagery. Students will look at both traditional and experimental forms, will explore these forms in their own writing, and will participate fully in a supportive workshop setting, giving and receiving thoughtful criticism, which will be used as a basis for revision. This is a writing class, and that will be our focus, but since reading and writing are a symbiotic pair, each essential to the other, we will also take close, analytical look at published work, seeking to understand the forms and unravel the process of creation.
Students wishing to take this course should advance register for them and attend the first class meetings. Students should be aware, however, that ultimate enrollment in the course will be by consent of the instructor, given after the first class meeting (thus, registration for the course does not guarantee a place on the final roll).

COMPOSITION FOR TEACHERS

ENG 509-402 R 6:00pm-8:30pm Williamson

COMPOSITION FOR TEACHERS
This course introduces students to the theories, practices, and approaches for teaching composition, with an emphasis on the middle and secondary level. The major aim of this course is to equip future teachers with the knowledge and skills necessary to better teach students to express their ideas through printed text. The course focuses on assignment and lesson development, strategies for improving writing, and response and assessment of writing. A review of grammar, usage, and mechanics is included.
The course is divided into units focusing on these essential questions:
* What does it mean to be a professional writing teacher?
* How do teachers use evaluation and assessment to help students improve their own writing?
* How can teachers design prompts that lead to better student writing?
* How do teachers use theories and approaches to structure writing classes and environments?
* How can literary models and grammar be incorporated into the teaching of writing?

The structure of the course is similar to a graduate seminar where students are asked to grapple with ideas and test their own assumptions and theories about the teaching of composition. Thus, the course is part composition and part teaching methods. Ultimately, the final grade is based on several writing assignments (including unit lesson plans), class participation, and the final exam. Questions may be addressed to the instructor through email at jrwilliam@ft-thomas.k12.ky.us

SEMINAR IN MEDIEVAL LITERATURE: ELECTRONIC CHAUCER
Cross-listed with INF 510-001 Informatics for the Humanities
This course will use The Hengwrt Chaucer: Digital Facsimile of National Library of Wales manuscript Peniarth 392 D, edited by Estelle Stubbs, to explore the methods used for constructing image-based scholarly electronic editions of Medieval texts.

Readings:
In addition to studying the version of the Canterbury Tales preserved in the earliest manuscript, we will also seek to understand other manuscript contexts in which the Tales are preserved and the way modern editors have passed them on to us. Along with the Hengwrt electronic edition on CD, we will use the electronic versions available online through the Electronic Text Center at the University of Virginia Library. We will compare the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches to editing as part of the course. Students will receive practical training in the tools and techniques, from image-capture to image-processing, from text-encoding to editing, needed to create electronic editions in a collaborative enterprise.

Requirements:
Active participation in class and in online discussions (50 percent); one or two oral presentations on an electronic research topic (25 percent); a final online project (25 percent) based on the oral presentation and due no later than the last day of classes.
(Note: for students interested in pursuing a graduate certificate in Informatics for the Humanities, this course counts as the second of the three required courses. For details about the Informatics program, see me or consult the Informatics webpage.)

SEMINAR IN VICTORIAN LITERATURE: THE SCENE OF A BROODING AUTHOR:
MODELS OF CREATION IN 19TH-CENTURY LITERATURE
In this class we will be exploring models of Victorian artistry as they emerged in the pages of nineteenth-century literature. From Matthew Lewis' The Monk to Oscar Wilde's Salome, from poetry to prose to drama, from the psychological Gothic to the sensational scientist, in this class we will journey through a century of nineteenth-century literature, tracing as we go the metaphors, scenes, performances, and stagings of the birth of the artist in literary fiction. While the primary focus of this class will be the Victorian literature and in particular Victorian fiction, this class will contextualize this period and genre of literature by both looking back toward Romanticism and forward toward Modernism, thinking all the while about the relationship between metaphors of birth and rebirth and stagings of the emerging and creative subject. Questions of gender, sexuality, and models of both subjectivity and corporeality will be at the forefront of our discussions as we explore these complex and metamorphosing scenes of creativity and writing.

ENG 752-001 MW 2:00pm-3:15pm Hutner

SEMINAR IN AMERICAN LITERATURE: 1860-1900
This course concentrates on the postbellum era and the early formulations of realism through 1890. We will read several novels that constellate the major developments of the era, both canonical works and some that were once highly regarded but are now rarely read. So we will also be concerned with questions about how the canon is formed, what attitudes toward nation underlie that process, and how literary criticism and scholarship provides an arena for debating the ways a culture understands, and perhaps misunderstands, itself. Students should come away from this part of the course with a good grasp of the literary history as well as the interests of some notable American novels, including those by James, Twain, and Howells as well as others whose names might be unfamiliar to many students.
As much as the course is restricted to such a specialized field of study, it is also a course in developing students' skills in their scholarly and critical practice as literary historians. To that end, students will be asked, in addition to creating a seminar paper, to engage in several research assignments, such as making an annotated bibliography, recovering contemporaneous reviews, and readings in periodicity and historiography. There will also be a unit on journals and journal publication, and even some lessons in editing critical writing.
Students will need a graduate level background in American literature to get the most out of this course. Enrollment limited.
Syllabus will be distributed to students soon after finals for summer reading.

The second half of the course will take the study of lyric into the twenty-first century, by examining poems by Wordsworth, Hopkins, Dickinson, Frost, Stevens, Ashbery, Bishop, Merrill, Heaney, Thom Gunn, Susan Wheeler, and Carl Phillips.

INTRODUCTION TO LINGUISTICS
This course will introduce and explore the forms and structures of human language, how they are similar, how they are recorded, and how they can change over time. Significant sections of the course will cover:
-human speech sounds and how they are used (Why, for instance is 'blaps' a possible English word, but not 'bspla'? Why is the 's' at the end of 'leaves' actually pronounced as a 'z'?)
-word-formation (Why can we form 'reality' out of 'real + ity' and 'sanity' out of 'sane + ity', but not 'happity' out of 'happy + ity?)
-sentence structure (Why is 'pretty women and horses' ambiguous? How are the two phrases in 'looking sharp, looking for love' different?)
Students can expect daily homework assignments designed to enable them to understand linguistic forms, and to deduce linguistic structures by applying methods of structural analysis to data drawn from a variety of languages. Test formats will generally be based on the homework.

INTRODUCTION TO LINGUISTICS II
PREREQUISITE: ENG/LIN 211 completed in Fall 2002 or Spring 2003 This course is the second semester of a sequence of introductory courses on the scientific study of human language. Credit will not be given to students who have credit for ENG/LIN 211 prior to Fall 2002.
PURPOSE of the course: To expand students' knowledge of linguistics as an academic discipline through a study of various sub-fields of Applied Linguistics, focusing on the main issues and problems of interest in semantics, first and second language acquisition, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, sociolinguistics, and animal communication. GOAL of the course: To demonstrate how language is acquired and used as a system communication.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The student will be able to analyze language data, formulate and test hypotheses, and argue persuasively for one solution over another. These skills will be developed by doing linguistic analyses: discovering patterns of acquisition and use in data drawn from English and a variety of foreign languages. Learning to do this kind of analysis is the most important part of the course.
METHOD: Daily quizlets; quizzes on individual chapters; exams on related chapters; frequent analytical exercises to reinforce what has been learned in class. No cumulative mid-term or final.
TEXTS: Contemporary Linguistics, William O'Grady, et al; 4th edition. Bedford/St. Martin's; the Workbook is NOT required for this course.

HISTORICAL LINGUISTICS
This course will explore theories and instances of language change. The major theories in the field will be discussed, especially as regards the classification of language families, models and explanations of language change, and the role which social factors play in linguistic behavior and language change.
We will also analyze languages spoken all over the world, both in the past and in the present, in order to deduce the changes which have occurred in their sound systems, their word-formation patterns, their sentence structures, and their lexical inventories.
Based on our understanding of theories of language change and our knowledge of grammatical and lexical changes which have occurred, we will reconstruct earlier languages based on comparative evidence drawn from their daughter languages, and reconstruct earlier states of single languages based on internal evidence.
Students can expect daily reading and/or written assignments designed to enable them to understand the theories, and to apply the methods of structural analysis and linguistic reconstruction. Test formats will be based on homework, lectures and readings. Prerequisite: LIN 211 or ENG 211.

The objective of this course is to enable students to read texts in Sanskrit, the ancient literary language of Northern India and the ancestor of the Modern Indic languages. Students will learn the devanâgarî writing system and the fundamentals of Sanskrit phonology and grammar, and, with regular practice, will cultivate an ability to translate Sanskrit texts into English with the aid of a grammar and dictionary. The textbook for the course is Madhav Deshpande's Sanskrit Primer. Students taking this course will be able to pursue further Sanskrit study in the spring of 2004, when Sanskrit II (LIN 521) will be offered.
