This course introduces students to short works of fiction by several important women writers of England in the 20th century. In addition to examining themes of love, children and family, these authors offer penetrating insights into human nature and contemporary experience. Joy, sadness, and self-understanding in ordinary moments of life are the typical focal points of their work. Some of the writers we will read include Doris Lessing, Muriel Spark, Elizabeth Bowen and Virginia Woolf. Students are expected to read 1 - 1 1/2 stories each week, and write monthly reflective journals. There will be a mid-term and final exam. The instructor will not use any material used in his Images of Women course.

         Prerequisite: Introduction to Western Literature

Survey of American Literature, Part One, covers the development of American literature from the seventeenth century through the Civil War, through readings in various genres including fiction, poetry, the essay, autobiography, and oratory. Throughout we will keep returning to the question of how American writers participated in and responded to the definition of "America" itself. For immigrants who settled there, America has been a vast new enterprise and experiment. Whether it is primarily a spiritual, an economic, or a political experiment, and whether it has succeeded or failed, is an open question addressed differently by various writers.

Major works on the syllabus include works poets such as by Anne Bradstreet, Edward Taylor, Walt Whitman; autobiographical writings by William Bradford, Mary Rowlandson, Henry David Thoreau; and short fiction by authors such as Washington Irving and Edgar Allan Poe. Our discussions will focus on close analysis of texts while lectures will introduce individual authors and survey related historical issues (for example, the American Revolution, slavery, the Civil War) and cultural movements (like Puritanism and Transcendentalism). Sometimes we will look at American paintings as a point of comparison to American literature.

Requirements include participation in class activities, one report, a midterm and a final exam. Survey of American Literature, Part Two, is offered in the Spring Semester. Parts One and Two may be taken either independently of one another, or in succession as a year-long survey.
