Distribution Course in Arts & Letters. Class of 2009 & prior only. Copeland. Benjamin Franklin Seminar. This is a course on the history of literary criticism, a survey of major theories of literature, poetics, and ideas about what literary texts should do from ancient Greece to examples of modern European and American thought. The course will give special attention to early periods: Greek and Roman antiquity, especially Plato and Aristotle; the medieval period (including St. Augustine, Dante, and Boccaccio), and the early modern period (where we will concentrate on Englsih writers such as Philip Sidney and Ben Johnson). We'll move into modern and 20th century by looking at the literary (or "art") theories of some major philosophers, artists, and poets: Kant, Wordsworth, Marx and Engels, Matthew Arnold, and the painter William Morris, T.S. Eliot, and the philosopher Walter Benjamin. We'll end with a very few samples of current literary theory.
