The descriptions and topics of this course change from semester-to-semester, as well as from instructor-to-instructor. Prerequisite: varies with the topic offered. LITR 290 AMERICAN REALISM. This course traces the dramatic change from romanticism to realism which occurred in the approximately 60 years from the end of the Civil War in 1865 to the beginning of the Depression in 1929. Many new developments in social, psychological, and philosophical thought caused the change in the relation of the individual to the universe, resulting in vivid forays into the inner workings of the mind and a new, often negative and depressing deterministic and naturalistic view of the external environment. Lectures and discussion will cover the relevant background of this period. However, the emphasis will always be on the techniques authors use to display their new sense of the world. Readings will include poetry, fiction, paintings, photography, and films will be used for illustration. Authors will include Whitman, Biere, Chopin, Crane, Porter, Cather, Williams, Stevens, Pound, Eliot, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and others. LITR 290 RUSSIAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE. An introduction to Russian culture and literature through a consideration of the literature, political, religion, and other factors which have contributed to modern Russian life. The course will include films and written works as well as class discussion. The professor is an exchange scholar from Volgograd Pedagogical University in Russia. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College Literature Department

An exploration in historical and contemporary terms of the tradition, from Plato to post-modernism, that struggles both to express the mysterious power of art and language and to explain it -- to make it a conscious, even rational, activity. The course, which will focus on how literary discourse responds to historical change, concludes with a workshop component in the currents shaping such discourse today. Students will understand the assumptions and practices that have silently shaped their thinking and become conscious shapers of their own responses. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College Literature Department Course Attributes: GE-TOPICS ARTS AND HUMANITIES, SS-Sch Core-Consc & Society

We will read preeminent American poets of the 19th century in tandem with the British Romantic and Victorian poets that influenced their work. Concentrating on the major figures of Emerson, Poe, Dickinson, and Whitman, the course will explore how they both borrowed from and challenged such poets as Coleridge, Byron, E. B. Browning, and Wordsworth. By identifying the concerns these poets shared, we will get a sense of the crosscurrents of thought that shaped the Transatlantic literary scene at a time when America still looked to England for cultural guidance. The course emphasizes close-reading techniques that will enable students to improve their ability to speak and write about poetry. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College Literature Department Course Attributes: MJ-AMER-Amer Artistic Express, MJ-AMER-Advanced Cat Elective
