  • ENGL 44320: Global Romanticisms: Lakers, Cockneys, and Cosmopolitans

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course takes an interdisciplinary literary, visual, and spacial approach to the volatile interplay of regional, urban, and cosmopolitan culture in the formation of British Romanticism (approximately 1770-1830). Although British Romanticism has been traditionally characterized as an aesthetic movement celebrating nature and regional "English" values, particularly grounded in the northern Lake District, recent scholarship increasingly emphasizes the explosive artistic and political friction between this local priority and Romanticism's engagement with Britain's deepening immersion in multiple urban and global contexts, such as: the Transatlantic slave trade and abolition movement; the French Revolution and the global scope of the Napoleonic wars; the spread of empire; and the hotbed of radical culture based in London, which strategically identified with working class "Cockney" life while also affirming a revolutionary Cosmopolitanism seeking political reform on the global level. The class will build on these new scholarly developments by exploring the ways in which British Romantic literature and painting emerged out of intense political and aesthetic conflicts associated with the affirmations of "English" rural life in Constable and the Lake School of writers (or "Lakers") headed by Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey; the abolition movement, featuring the political writings of Wilberforce and the slave narratives of Mary Prince and Olaudah Equiano; the problematics of colonialism in Ireland and India examined in the works of Scott, Turner, and Lady Morgan; the emergence of "global feminism" in the writings of Hamilton, Smith, and Mary Shelley; and the rise of radical "Cockneyism" in the urban poetics of Hunt, Keats, Byron, and Percy Shelley and its transportation into a politically subversive Cosmopolitanism dedicated to the sensuous pleasures of Italy and sensitive to persisting conflicts (of high relevance to our world today) between Muslim and European culture in the Mediterranean.

A study of HenryJames follows, from his earlier novels to his later works, stretching to encompass The Bostonians, What Maisie Knew, Portrait of a Lady, Washington Square, the Europeans, and Wings of the Dove. The ties between Austen and James are highlighted, and each of James' novels is dissected to find the crucial ironic center, as well the interplay of morality, psychology, nuance, internality and characterization.

  • ENGL 44340: Eighteenth Century Literature

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Taught as ENGL 20020 "Eighteenth Century Literature" at host institution. The eighteenth century was a period fundamental to the formation of modernity. In the eighteenth century we find many paradoxes, not least the fact that a great belief in the capacity of humanity to attain great heights stood side by side with philosophical, scientific and religious doubts and uncertainties. Other questions too with regard to issues more immediately present to writers, such as gender and class, were becoming more pertinent, and found their way into the very new literary form, the novel. By exploring the literature of the period, this module will explore how such influences affected writers and their work throughout the eighteenth century.
