"This course focused on the art form of the short story from the works of Anton Chekhov to those of Ernest Hemingway, with particular attention to the stories of Rudyard Kipling. Henry James, Guy de Maupassant, D.H. Lawrence, and James Joyce were prominent figures in the course, as well. Each story was examined for concise character development through powerful details, sentence structure and diction, dialects, perspectives, and whether or not the author's voice resonated in the work.

"EN 2028 20th Century Supernatural Literature at Trinity College; Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to introduce second-year students to classic texts and temes in twentieth-century supernatural literature. We will be discussing novels and short stories from America (James, Lovecraft, Matheson, Jackson, and Blatty), England (M.R James), Wales, (Machen), and Japan (Suzuki). Along the way we will be discussing topics such as: -The gothic roots of supernatural fiction, -The impact of growing psychological awareness upon the supernatural tale, -The place such stories have in an increasingly industrialized, "rational" world, -The evolution of the haunted house, -The role of the supernatural in the boom in commercial horror fiction during the 1970s, -The ways in which classic supernatural tropes and themes (such as the vengeful ghost and the vampire) have been brought into the present day, -The factors behind the resurgence of present-day interest in the supernatural (as reflected in the growing popularity of supernatural-themed films, and "real life" television shows)-The way in which supernatural literatures from around the world differ in their depiction of otherworldy and the uncanny. -Students will also be introduced to classic essays such as H.P Lovecraft's "The Supernatural in Literature" and Freud's "The Uncanny," as well as more recent attempts to define the parameters of supernatural literature (such as in S.T Joshi's "The Modern Weird Tale" and Stephen King's "Danse Macabre")."

This course will focus on literature and society in Britain at the end of the 19th century and in the first years of the 20th century. Some critics view this as a period of cultural crisis, of the break-up of the Victorian order, others point to the considerable degree of continuity between the Victorian period and what follows. In this course, then, we will look at a variety of texts in relation to contemporary issues and consider the exact nature of the fin-de-siecle ' crisis'. Topics to be covered will include: aestheticism and decadence; the 'New Woman' ; the 'New Imperialism'; the 'New Journalism'; and the degeneration.
