dc.description.abstract | In this course we will focus exclusively on the works of Henry James and Edith Wharton. Through intensive study of representative novels, we will consider questions of sexuality, gender, ethnicity, nationality, aesthetics, and economics. We will also situate the fiction historically, not only by learning about the authors’ lives, but more importantly, by considering the texts as cultural artifacts of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth and by thinking of them as exemplars of various literary genres and modes such as realism, naturalism, satire and novels of manners. Finally, we will also consider questions of literary influence and intertextuality, given the close personal and professional relationship between the two authors. This course is the capstone experience of the English major, and its primary goal is to guide you towards finding your own voice as a literary critic by helping you hone your skills of independent research, synthesis and interpretation. To this end, the course begins with a series of common readings and gradually moves towards a focus on independent work: research, reading, and writing. By the end, you will have produced a 20-25 page essay of original scholarship, and you will be required to present your work formally to your peers during the last week of the semester. | en_US |
