  • ENGL 30110: British Literary Traditions I

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This is an introductory survey of English poetic and prose texts written from the eighth to the mid-seventeenth century. We will study these literary artifacts as imaginative representatives of experience, as cultural maps, and as human messages-in-a-bottle, set afloat in the seas of time. As we read these selections composed in English from past centuries past, we will be looking for both familiarity and strangeness. We will also be forming a sense of the variety and differing uses of literary genres: epic and romance [Beowulf and Sir Gawain & the Green Knight]; short story [Chaucer¿s Canterbury Tales and the Lais of Marie de France]; religious diary [excerpts from the mystical visions of Julian of Norwich in Revelations of Divine Love] and autobiography [from the first written in English, authored by Marjorie Kempe, a laywoman who records her business ventures, her negotiations of marital sex life, her adventures on pilgrimage, and her religious examination by the archbishop as a potential heretic]. We will also read lyric poems from the Old and Middle English periods, and from the Renaissance and seventeenth centuries, including some of Shakespeare¿s sonnets; political satire [excerpts from Utopia, a prose fiction authored by Sir/Saint Thomas More]; and at least on play¿possibly two ¿from the Medieval and/or Renaissance performing tradition. The semester¿s literary pilgrimage will conclude by coming full circle, back to the epic revisited, with selections from Milton¿s Paradise Lost. Regular short quizzes. Midterm & final examinations. Two short (5-10 pp.) Essays, due at mid-term and end-term. Text: The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Vol. I, 7th edition.

  • ENGL 30120: Satire: Jonathan Swift to Jon Stewart

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    A study of literary satire from the early 18th century to the present with some attention to visual satire and current popular culture. Authors to be studied will certainly include Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, Voltaire, William Blake, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Nathanael West, and probably on or more of the following: Aldous Huxley, Langston Hughes, George Orwell, Don DeLillo, and T. C. Boyle. Some of the questions we will consider are: Does great satire, which often highly historical, complicate ideas of art as timeless or universal? How does satire differ from comedy and irony, while frequently incorporating both? Is satire fundamentally a form of moral engagement or anarchistic play? What links aggression and laughter in verbal art? What do traditional satires tell about recent phenomena such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report - - and vice versa?

    This is a course in writing short fiction for English majors who come to writing with a broader literary background than non-majors. It is conducted through a discussion format centered on fiction written by students in the class, and in the context of readings drawn from the contemporary, literary landscape. Students will be encouraged to explore how style and language create aesthetic experience and convey ideas. No one type of fiction is advocated over another, and the emphasis in the class will vary from section to section; however, students will be expected to write fiction that demonstrates an awareness of the difference between serious literature and formula entertainment.
