English and Creative Writing [132S]: Shakespeare: The Plays Within the Plays
3.00 Credits
Hamilton College
Most Shakespeare plays have plays in them--either actual staged events, like the performance at the end of A Midsummer Night's Dream, or "staged" public events, such as trials and weddings. We will look at the plays within the plays in order to think about the plays as plays, rather than books one reads, and about the relationship between theater and ritual. Among the plays we will read are Henry IV, Part One, Much Ado About Nothing and The Winter's Tale. Students will be expected to attend showings of the plays outside of class time. (Writing-intensive.) Open to first-year students and sophomores only; not open to students who have taken a 100- or 200-level English course. Maximum enrollment, 16.

3.00 Credits
Hamilton College
Examines contemporary science fiction, horror and ghost tales such as Neuromancer, Beloved, The Handmaid's Tale, Interview with the Vampire, and the films Resident Evil and Dark City in relation to their Gothic precursors. We consider why the Gothic persists, what features have been adapted for the 20th and 21st centuries, and how the audience for the Gothic has mutated. To establish the foundations of the Gothic, we read The Castle of Otranto, Wuthering Heights and The Picture of Dorian Gray (post-1900). (Writing-intensive.) Prerequisite, one 100-level English course or equivalent. Not open to senior English or creative writing concentrators. Maximum enrollment, 20.

English and Creative Writing [238F]: Readers, Writers, and the Rise of Secular Print Culture
3.00 Credits
Hamilton College
Explores the effects of rapidly increasing literacy rates and increasingly affordable printed books on the rise of reading for pleasure as a common cultural activity in England and Colonial America between 1630 and 1750. Who could read? What was available? Who was making money off it, and how? We will consider the ways that writers (and booksellers) at this time tried to influence reading practices. We will also look at books as physical objects through explorations in the library, conversations with book conservators and workshops on Hamilton's manual printing press. Open to sophomores, juniors and seniors. Maximum enrollment, 16.
