ENGL 223 American Transcendentalism 6 credits
Attempts to discern the nineteenth-century Zeitgeist come down, Emerson says, to a “practical question of the conduct of life. How shall I live?” This interdisciplinary course will investigate the works of the American Transcendentalist movement in its restless discontent with the conventional, its eclectic search for better ways of thinking and living. We will engage major works of Emerson, Thoreau, Fuller, and Whitman alongside documents of the scientific, religious, and political changes that shaped their era and provoked their responses.

ENGL 395 The Romantic Mode 6 credits
In literary study, Romanticism is frequently presented as an historical period, an era beginning in the aftermath of the French Revolution and coming to an end in the development of 19th-C realism and 20th-C. modernism. Following recent Marxist reconfigurations, in this Advanced Seminar we will construe Romanticism as a mode of thought and expression released from period and never having come to an end at all. An interdisciplinary, international, and anti-capitalist approach to the topic with contributions from philosophy, painting, music, and politics, and with primary sources of literary art drawn from Shakespeare to the present.
