Analysis of each text as well some consideration of the historical and cultural context out of which it emerged will take up a good part of each weekly meeting. The course is designed to help PhD candidates studying literature after 1800 to acquire sounder knowledge of these classics. While it is not a practicum, the course also aims to help students teach humanities or great books surveys that regularly include some of the authors listed above.
Enrollment is limited to PhD candidates.
Permission to register must be obtained in person from Prof. Daniel Javitch .
