English Literature - 008 and 009 First-Year Seminars In English Literature
	ENGL 009S. First-Year Seminar: Black Liberty/Black Literature How have African American writers told stories of freedom, and how have they tried to tell them freely?

	ENGL 009Z. First-Year Seminar: Close Reading and Its Discontents We “close read” almost every day, in both the English literature classroom and in everyday life. But what do we really mean when we talk about close reading? And what might it mean for us to reject it? We will study the ways literary critics have read texts as different as John Donne poems, car ads, and Jane Austen novels, practice traditional and experimental forms of reading, and write in several forms.

	ENGL 053. Core Course: Modern American Poetry An introductory survey of the full range of 20th-century American poetry, but we will commence with Whitman and Dickinson, two key predecessors and enablers. The emphasis will be on particular poets and poems, but a recurrent theme will be poetry’s role in a democracy: is poetry really an esoteric art for the “educated” few, as some imply, or has poetry in the 20th century played a crucial role in shaping both democratic citizens and a sense of democratic culture?

	ENGL 059. Core Course: 19th Century American Novels When we think of 19th century American literature, we tend to think of novels: Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, James Fenimore Cooper’s The Last of the Mohicans, and so on. But the novel was still a new and somewhat dubious genre in the nineteenth-century U.S., and its identity was not yet settled. In this course, we will read some of the “big” books of the period, but we will try to read them as they might have been read at the time, as experimental controversial works. Texts may include Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables, William Wells Brown’s Clotel, and Helen Hunt Jackson’s Ramona, in addition to those listed above. Group II (post-1830) 1 credit.

	ENGL 060. Early African American Print Cultures African American literature has traditionally been defined in terms of authorship, but how might we expand this definition to consider editing, illustration, printing, circulation, and reading? And how might this expanded definition change our understanding of the field?
