HP 231 - James and Woolf

Institution:

Connecticut State Community College Norwalk

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: ENG 102 or permission of Honors Coordinator. 3 credits This seminar will include a critical reading of five novels from the early 20th Century canon: Henry James' The Awkward Age, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl; and Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. These five masterworks are subtle and demanding; they include what Henry James referred to as "patches of ambiguity and the abysses of shadow that constitute the material of [the literary} trade." This seminar will be an attempt to deal with some of the issues of modernity as expressed in novels of manners, morals, and fine distinctions in human ethics and philosophy. We will also develop a greater appreciation of the miraculous dexterity of these great masters of English prose.
