Sex, Suffrage and Empire<br />

Sex, Suffrage, and Empire: Modernism and the New Woman:<br />

The first decades <strong>of</strong> the twentieth century were a tumultuous<br />

time in Great Britain. Even before World War I plunged the<br />

nation into bloody conflict, British society was deeply<br />

divided over such matters as industrial reform, national<br />

defense, and sexual and racial “degeneration.” In this seminar,<br />

we will examine the emergence <strong>of</strong> literary modernism in the<br />

context <strong>of</strong> two <strong>of</strong> the most contentious developments <strong>of</strong> this<br />

period, imperial decline and the rise <strong>of</strong> militant feminism.<br />

Authors studied will include Olive Schreiner, George<br />

Bernard Shaw, Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, Mina<br />

Loy, D.H. Lawrence, Rebecca West, and Jean Rhys. Supple-<br />

mental readings will include contemporaneous political<br />

pamphlets, Suffragette manifestoes, and eugenic tracts.<br />

Childhood: Mystery and Muse<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the great, inexhaustible sources <strong>of</strong> inspiration for<br />

literature is childhood: that period <strong>of</strong> vivid wonder and<br />

terror, <strong>of</strong> our first fumblings toward knowledge about who<br />

we are and what it is like to live in this oddly beautiful (and<br />

beautifully odd) world. In this course, we will investigate<br />

how American literature in various genres-fiction, poetry,<br />

and memoir-has explored and explained childhood, and we<br />

will use those models as inspiration for our own attempts to<br />

capture, in language, what is worth retrieving from our own<br />

beginnings. To establish a template by which to appreciate<br />

some fundamental elements <strong>of</strong> the tale <strong>of</strong> childhood, we will<br />

start the semester by reading a few <strong>of</strong> the more wildly strange<br />

and mythically resonant Grimms’ fairy tales. After that, we<br />

will focus on American writers <strong>of</strong> the last century, with<br />

possible authors being Elizabeth Bishop, Theodore Roethke,<br />

Norton Juster, Tobias Wolff, Susan Minot, and Joanne Beard.<br />

This course counts toward completion <strong>of</strong> Core Curriculum<br />

requirements but not the Inquiries in American Literature<br />

requirement for English majors.<br />

Shakespeare and Love<br />

This course supposes that Shakespeare (who I think invents<br />

romantic comedy) has something to tell us about romantic<br />

love. Shakespeare portrays love as a process that may either<br />

succeed or fail. We will do romantic comedy and romantic<br />

tragedy-and the sonnets, which probably portray some <strong>of</strong><br />

Shakespeare’s personal bouts with love. Basic requirement for<br />

the course-you must be in or fall in love during the term.<br />

How else can we know? (kidding <strong>of</strong> course.)<br />
