  • ENGL 359: Victorian Heroines

    1.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    In an era characterized by the prominence of women writers and by its female monarchy, this course will investigate the variety of ways Victorian writers construct heroines and other exceptional women. Our focus will be on literary texts (fiction and poetry), but we will read them in the context of selected other Victorian writings: conduct literature, biographical texts, aesthetic debates, the Crimean War, and writings by and about Queen Victoria. The course's goal is to give students a detailed knowledge of some Victorian literature, and to enable them to read these works in dialogue with Victorian history: specifically, with attention to the gendered economics of the literary marketplace, to the emerging feminist movement in England, to the role of women in wartime, to the conditions of the working-class, and to the authorizing (and disabling) presence of Queen Victoria. Texts will include: Bronte's Jane Eyre, Tennyson's The Princess and Maud, Barrett Browning's Mary Barton, Eliot's The Mill on the Floss, Oliphant's Miss Marjoribanks, Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, and Shaw's Candida, and selected writings by Hemans, Carlyle, Ruskin, Jameson, Mill, Ellis, and some recent critics.

  • ENGL 360: Shakespeare on Film

    1.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    In this course, we will study selected films based on Shakespeare plays. Though we will read the Shakespeare plays as prelude to film analysis, the films will be studied as independent texts. The film script (adapted from or based on a Shakespeare play) will be treated as one aspect of the text. Students will concentrate on analyzing camera angles, mise-en-scene, lighting, sound, editing, and script as aspects of a composite text. We will also discuss film genres and look at the signature work of specific directors, such as Laurence Olivier and Kenneth Branagh. Plays may be selected from Titus Andronicus, Hamlet, Much Ado About Nothing, Richard III, Romeo and Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew, and King Lear. This course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing cultural context or a course emphasizing literature written before 1800. Not open to first-year students. 1.00 units, Lecture

  • ENGL 366: Dickens/Chaplin

    3.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    This course treats the work of Charles Dickens and Charles Chaplin from a critical perspective that recognizes their remarkable similarities. Charles Dickens was undoubtedly the most popular artist of the 19th century. He worked in the dominant popular form of the period (the novel) and his work was immediately and widely disseminated in both English and via translations. The fictional worlds and characters he created formed a mythology that addressed and made sense of the experiences of early modern life for millions around the world; the adjective "Dickensian" testifies to how familiar his characteristic blend of comedy and melodrama has become. Though working during a different period (the 20th century) and in a different form (film), Charles Chaplin is remarkably analogous to Dickens. Like Dickens, Chaplin was his century's most popular global artis, his work addressed some of the fundamental issues of contemporary social life, and he employed a blend of comedy and melodrama that merited its own adjective ("Chaplinesque"). Looking at the evolution of these two major figures over the course of their careers, this course also provides an introduction to the techniques and themes of popular melodrama and comedy. 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
