We will read work by Charles Brocken Brown, Edgar Allen Poe, Stephen King, John Winthrop, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Harriet Jacobs, William Faulken, and Toni Morrison, among others. 001 MWF 11:00AM-11:50AM RH*110 Levander, Caroline *CURRENT ENR: 0 ENGL 339 BRITISH ROMANTICS: POETRY Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 * DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP I The major writings of Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats. 001 MWF 01:00PM-01:50PM RH*110 Grob, Alan *CURRENT ENR: 0 ENGL 342 VICTORIAN FICTION Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 * DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP I 001 MWF 11:00AM-11:50AM BL*123 Michie, Helena *CURRENT ENR: 0 ENGL 363 AMERICAN FICTION: 1940-PRESENT Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 * DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP I 001 MWF 10:00AM-10:50AM RH*110 Doody, Terrence *CURRENT ENR: 0 ENGL 367 AMERICAN ECOFEMINISM:INTERSECT BETWEEN F Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 * DISTRIBUTION COURSE: GROUP I Course surveys women's efforts during nineteenth and twentieth centuries to define and practice "pro-environmental" policies.

This pro-seminar in Middle English Literature will survey Piers Plowman, the Pearl Poet, romances, Corpus Christi cycle plays, dream visions, lyrics, sermons, mystical writings, and satires from the 14th and 15th centuries. The pre-Reformation character of this new vernacular literature will highlight its interiorized, subjective nature, its emphasis on the primacy of the commons and its appeal to the newly lierature feminine readers, who constitute much of the audience at this moment of shift from manuscript to prited book. Different topics may be repeated for credit". 001 TTH 09:25AM-10:40AM RH*317 Chance, Jane *CURRENT ENR: 0 ENGL 521 SHAKESPEARE Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 An enriched version of Engl 321 for graduate students.

This course alternately examines how images of the child help to construct a distinct national identity in U.S. writing from nationhood through the nineteenth century. As a propnent of both national and individual identity formation, the child in U.S. writing registers the complex interrelations existing between the two. We will read essays by Slavoj Zizeck, Joan Copjec, Teresa Brennan, and Homi Bhabha, among others, to think about how the national and individual work with and against each other and writings by Thomas Paine, Harriet Jacobs, Frederick Douglas, Mark Twain, Harriet Wilson, Louisa May Alcott, and Henry James in order to assess to what ends the child facilitates diverse political relations or effects between national identity and individual subjectivity. 001 F 02:00PM-05:00PM RH*319 Levander, Caroline *CURRENT ENR: 0 ENGL 594 AREA STUDIES:SEXUALITY AND SUBJECTIVITY Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 001 M 02:00PM-05:00PM RH*239 Morrison, Paul *CURRENT ENR: 0 ENGL 599 LITERARY THEORY: FOUCAULT, DELEUZE, LYOT Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 An investigation of political and ethical concerns in literary interpretation.
