    MWF 10:00-10:50 Staff The Value of Literature: Realism, Naturalism, Modernism In this course we will trace the history of American literature through the realist, naturalist, and modern periods. Whether responding to the development of mass production in the publishing industry, documenting the emergence of the notion of the writer as worker, or intervening to depict and condemn inhumane working conditions in mills and factories, American literature after the Civil War has persistently grappled with economic questions. Accordingly, our class will explore themes of work, value, and alienation in both the art and business of American Literature, emphasizing the way that literature not only documented the conditions of emergent industrial America, but also played a crucial role in shaping that America. Authors will include William Dean Howells, Theodore Dreiser, Stephen Crane, William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Richard Wright. This course is cross-listed with CC211P Texts and Ideas.

    TR 11:00-12:15 Goldsmith Literature and Movement: Britain, Empire, & Identity From the French and the Industrial Revolutions to the Reform bills and suffrage, the nineteenth century was marked by vast and radical change, change variously promoted and resisted. The Industrial Revolution gave rise to new configurations and movements of labor. The uncoupling of capital from property increased social mobility. Geological discoveries by Hutton and Lyell showing the earth to be a process of gradual change culminated in Darwin's theory of evolution. New technologies of travel made possible the expansion of empire under Queen Victoria, and commerce swept the globe. How do these various notions of movement, of change, and of circulation shape the writings of this new world, and how do they continue to inform poems, plays, and novels over a century later? Considering the role and representation of progress, of travel, and of change, this class will investigate how notions of the past, the present, and the future might configure the spaces of individual and national consciousness.
