ENGL 395 The Writings of Virginia Woolf 6 credits
Virginia Woolf is regarded as one of the chief modernist writers, as well as one of the twentieth-century's most important feminist thinkers. She revolutionized the novel and the concept of time in fiction, as well as ideas of gender and sexuality. She, along with other members of the Bloomsbury Group, was also a critic of World War I and the build-up to World War II. In this course we will read the majority of her novels, as well as selected essays, diary entries, and letters. Articles by literary critics will offer various contexts for our discussions. Some works included: Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and "A Room of One's Own."

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.
Repeatable: Course is repeatable provided the topics are different.
