Description:

This is an intensive upper-division seminar that focuses on metaphor in the fictional prose works (as opposed to the poetry) of the nineteenth century, both in America and on the Continent. Highlighting foundation texts that have contributed significantly to the development of prose, this course will explore a wide range of writers that were attempting to broaden the concept of literature, per se, during this time period. The purpose here is to apply metaphorical theory and methodologies, from Aristotle to the present, to the fiction of authors such as Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Guy de Maupassant.
