ENGL   336 THE GOTHIC AND CONSTRUCTIONS OF NATIONAL Credits 3.00  Spring 2000
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 gtohic 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" reader/writers alike. More
particularly, we will consider how U.S. writers use these gothic devices
to script the diverse racial identities 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 Brocken Brown, Edgar Allen Poe,
Stephen King, John Winthrop, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Harriet Jacobs,
William Faulken, and Toni Morrison, among others.

"Topics vary from year to year. 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".

ENGL   592 THE CHILD IN U.S. LIT FROM NATIONHOOD-TH Credits 3.00  Spring 2000
In cultural materialist as well as historicist and psychoanalytic
accounts, the modern child has consistently been equated with the
personal, the individual, and/or the psychological. 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.
