We examine the revolutionary shift in human sensibility commonly known as "Romanticism" by tracing its development in America from the "Fireside Poets" (Bryant, Longfellow) and Transcendentalism (Emerson, Whitman) to anticipations of Modernism and Postmodernism (Henry Adams, Louis Sullivan, Charles Ives). Fulfills the 19th century and American literature requirements for the English major.

This course introduces students to the literary representation of gender and sexuality in England from the medieval period to the 18th century. To understand a tradition that addressed the intractable problem of human sexuality in terms very different from ours, we ask: how does premodern culture imagine gendered identities, sexual difference, and erotic desire? How do various contexts-medical, religious, social, private, public-inform the literary representation of gender and sexuality? What are the anatomies and economies of the body, the circuits of physical pleasure, and the disciplines of the self that characterize human sexuality? Students have the opportunity to study romances, saints' lives, mystical writings, diaries, plays, sex guides, novels, and scientific treatises. By learning how to "read sex" in premodern literature, students acquire a broad cultural and historical understanding of English sexualities before the descent of modern sensibilities.

Works of fiction, poetry, journalism, children's literature, political cartoons, book illustrations, genre paintings, and photographs. The course aims to give a sense of the age in all its diversity and peculiarity, as well as to concentrate on a few central issues and developments in 19th-century British society: e.g. industrialism, materialism, feminism, liberalism, the rise of the social sciences. Readings include works by Tennyson, Matthew Arnold, Lewis Carroll, Dickens, George Eliot, John Stuart Mill, Trollope, Oscar Wilde, and Edmund Gosse.
