  • ENGL 347: After Beloved:Black Women Writers in the 21st Century

    1.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    This course considers the critical acclaim for and commercial hype over black women's writing in the 20th century as a jumping off point for discussions of black women's literature since 2000. Considering the rich diversity of aesthetic and thematic approaches in 21st-century African American women's texts, we will consider what is distinctive about this work, as well as if and how it forms a continuum with an earlier canon. Some topics for discussion will include class identity, genre, the avant-garde and the influence of Oprah Winfrey. We will read poetry by Harryette Mullen, Elizabeth Alexander, and Claudia Rankine, fiction by Octavia Butler, ZZ Packer, Kim McLarin, and Jamaica Kincaid, and the work of playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. In order to form a basis for comparison, we will read a handful of foundational works published in the 20th century: Beloved, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and poetry collections by Gwendolyn Brooks and Maya Angelou. For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing cultural context, or a course emphasizing literature written after 1800 1.00 units, Lecture

  • ENGL 350: Lost Worlds:Fiction & Film

    1.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    The idea of a "lost" or undiscovered world has remained compelling from the adventures of Odysseus onward to the films of Steven Spielberg. Writers and filmmakers use images of a lost world to represent the "primitive," the powerful, the mysterious, the ideal -- whatever is not everyday experience. The course will compare a number of such representations, both in fiction and in film, examining how the media shape particular images as they do. Among the texts will be novels by Herman Melville, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, James Hilton, and Michael Crichton, and films like Lost Horizon, Jurassic Park, and both versions of The Lost World. Students should plan to be available on Monday evenings for film screenings. This course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing cultural contex 1.00 units, Lecture

  • ENGL 353: Challenging Authority:Literature of the 17th Century

    0.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    The early 17th century was one of the most important and contentious periods in English history, and literature was a formative part of its rich culture of debate and innovation. The Stuart monarchy was trying to establish an absolutist culture, and the resistance to it led to the first political revolution in modern Europe. The 17th century also witnessed the movement of women into public life and print as highly vocal poets, preachers, prophetesses, and political theorists. Advances in scientific inquiry reshaped how writers thought about the cosmos and their place in it. Readings will include works by Donne, Jonson, Marvell, the women poets Lanyer and Bradstreet, the quasi-scientific writings of Bacon and Burton, and samplings from the period's rich popular literature and pamphlet wars. For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written before 1800. Prerequisite: English 260 with a minimum grade of C-. 1.00 units, Lecture
