Authors include Poe, Hawthorne, Emerson, Crane, and Hemingway. 269-23 INTRO TO AMERICAN LIT (ENGEL) MWF 3 Discussion of Thoreau, Whitman, Twain, Lardner, O'Neill. Mainly class discussion, but with background explanations and focus on central themes: human excellence. and weakness in the context of the heroic age, of. Greek city-state life, and of "world" wars; man in relationship to the divine; justice and in- justice. Textbooks: Lattimore's Iliad (Chicago), Lattimore's Oresteia (Chicago), Watling's Theban Plays (Penguin), Vela- cott's Bacchae and Other Plays (Penguin), Rex Warner's History of the Peloponnesian War, and Plato's Republic and Other Works (Dolphin). 269-24H INTRO TO AMERICAN LIT (REASKE) MWF 10 GREAT BOOKS 201-4 (JONES) MTWF 11 Authors treated include: Homer, Thucydides, Aeschylus, Sopho- cles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Aristotle, Plato and Vergil. Directed discussions on each day's readings; approximately 50 pages per assignment. Three examinations of essay type within the semes- ter. Student has choice of 20 page paper based on approved topical outline submitted in advance, or a regular final examina- tion on major substantive questions on the works read throughout the course, GREAT BOOKS 201-5 (NIEMEYER) MTWF 12 Authors included: Hom, VAeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristh- phones, Thucydides, Plato, Vergil, Ovid. Class discussion of the assigned readings on virtually any aspect of the texts-histori- cal, sociological, philosophical-although the first interest is literary. GREAT BOOKS 201-6 (GEORGE) MTWF 1 Authors include: Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Vergil (plus some Greek and Roman lyric poetry, if time permits). Lecture and recitation. Discussion of assigned readings in the light of basics of literary theory and criticsm, his- toriogrophy, philosophical method (esp. in field of aesthetics) . Papers and reports: two major papers are assigned for term, one for an individual analysis of a work or problem, one for comparative analysis of two works (one of which may be a modern work read outside class: e.g., a student may elect to write on Sophocles' Antigone vs. Anouilh's play of the same title). In addition, each student is required to deliver before the class an oral report (one per term ' covering some specific aspect of the reading (e.g., dramatic structure in The Eumenides; the relevance of Book X to the rest of The Republic). Creative participation in the oral pre.sentations (dramatic readings, lectures with slides, and the like) is encouraged. Whenever opportunty permits, one guest per term is invited to speak or lead a class discussion. In my experience, these "added features" and encouragements have done a great deal to make the class livelier and more rewarding. Probable texts include: James Fenimore Cooper, The Last of the Mohicans; Nathaniel Hawthorne, stories; several novels in- cluding The Scarlet Letter and The Blithedale Romance; H. Melville, Benito Cereno, Typee, and perhaps Moby Dick; Henry James, The American, Daisy Miller; Jean Toomer, Cane; Richard Wright, Uncle Tom's Children. Poetry includes that of Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, E.A. Robinson, Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens, Mariannne Moore, and Robert Lowell. This course will focus primarily on the development of American fiction by beginning with the historical romance of James Fenimore. Cooper, passing through the so-called American Renaissance by a study of Hawthorne and Melville, and concluding with the fiction of Henry James, Jean Toomer, and Richard Wright who show us different aspects through very different narrative styles of the rise of modern America. Several lectures, tied to suggested but not required reading, will deal with varieties of orose narrative in eighteenth-century America and with the experimental contemporary fiction; thus students will hopefully have under- standable access to writers as different as Cotton Mother and Kurt Vonnegut. There will be a unit on American poetry, with particular attention given to Whitman, Dickinson, Frost, and Stevens. 269-25 INTRO TO AMERICAN LIT (DAVIS) MWF 2 Texts will include Hawthorne's Selected Tales and Sketches, 3rd Edition (Rinehart), Melville's Selected Tales and Poems (Rine- hart), Whitman's Complete Poetry and Selected Prose (River- side), O'Neill's The Later Plays (Modern Library) and Long Day's Journey into Night (Yale) , and Contemporary Poetry in America, ed.

Papers may be in the form of historical report, extended journal entry, critical assessment, autobiog- raphical sketch, etc. Stress will be laid cn the manipulation of style and tone to fit given purposes and subject matter. Occa- sional papers will be mimeographed and handed out for group discusson. There will be a few texts, chosen with an eye to time- liness. 329 ELIZ & JAC STUDIES (INGRAM) ARR Since all the important artists, writers, and musicians of the Elizabethan age lived in London-with the single exception of Edmund Spenser--the aim of this course will be to clarify for the student the nature of the interaction of the Elizabethan artist with his environment, the nature of the daily pressures and exhilarations which life in London might produce. Units will be devoted to the geography of the City, its political organ- ization, the economics of daily life and the relation of the guild structure to City government, the tensions between the City and the Court, and the relation of the City to the nation. Special topics will include education, the care of the sick and infirm, sanitation, dietary and sumptuary laws, the running of markets, the presence of aliens in the City, the recurring problem of the plague, control of the river, military conscription, economic ex- pansion into the- new world, and the status of women. Research will be restricted for the most part to primary materials. 331 INTRO TO POETRY (HORNBACK) MWF 12 A study of both traditional and contemporary English and Ameri- can poetry-studied together rather than "historically."

The members of each pair will be closely related in some way (e.g. close friends, husband-wife, members of a literary "movement," etc.). The ways in which male and female styles differ will be examined, with their mutual influences thus at a maximum. Some tentative hypotheses concerning sex-determined habits of thinking and feeling will be ventured. Course will focus on the language pat- terns, from narrative structures to syntax, with which writers order and transform their various subjects and ideas. Possible writers to be studied are Dante & Christina Rosetti, Robert & Elizabeth Browning, Edith Wharton & Henry James, Ezra Pound & H.D., Virginia Woolf and E.M. Forster, Marianne Moore & Wallace. Stevens, Sylvia Plath & Ted Hughes. 426-4 PRACTICAL CRITICISM 426-5 PRACTICAL CRITICISM (RUCKER) MWF 4 Authors treated include Faulkner Robbe-Grillet, and Fitzgerald. The aim of the course, conducted through lecture and discus- sion, is to expose the student to various critical approaches to literature and to assist him in determining criteria by which to judge literary merit. A series of essays by representative critics will be studied to provide the tools to be used in the four or five analyses upon which the final grade will be based, 427 THE SHORT PLAY (WYMAN) M 7:30-10:30 p.m. Writing short plays is the principal activity in this course. Stu, dents are required to write a minmum of two short ploys, and a third or fourth is encouraged. Many students will have the op- portunity to see their plays performed in workshop productions acted by students from the Theatre courses. To stimulate cre- ativity, short plays are read, nearly all of them modern. Addi- tionally, class discussions often focus on current productions offered regularly by the Speech Dept., and attendance at these productionsdis encouraged. Occasionally, short writing exercises are assigned. There is much individual work with the instructor, as each student's problems are analyzed and solutions found to playwriting difficulties. 429 WRITING POETRY (CLARK) ARR This course will meet once a week in the evening at my house to discuss student writing. Each member of the class must expect to have his poetry discussed on at least one occasion. Students will meet with me individually at least once every two weeks. Admission by permission. Those wishing to enter should send a sample of their work to Walter Clark/ Department of English/ University of Michigan during the month of August. A list of those admitted will be posted on the door of 2635 Haven Hall by the first day of classes. Manuscripts returned outside door of 2635. 430 CONTEMP LIT-FICTION (WEISBUCH) MWF 11 The course will treat English, American, and Continental fiction of the past twenty years. It will focus on those writers who seem to deal most directly with the question: what attitudes suit the modern experience? What is that experience? How can the novel contrive a form that will express and clarify that sense of experience? The course may be organized by such categorical solutions as existentialist, romantic, and structuralist. Since Norman Mailer's career spans these categories, we will read several of his works. Other authors may include: Sartre, Comu, Beckett, Amis, Murdoch, Fowles, Nabokov, Barth, Bellow, Lessing, and Pynchon. 431 (HUM 406) NOVEL TO 1850 (FALLER) MWF 2 A history of the novel from Defoe to Dickens, Mini-lectures and maxi-discussions.

A study of some of the major novels written in England, America and on the continent during the past 100 years. The course will study these texts primarily to understand their achievements as works of art, but also to learn what they tell us about the develop- ment of the novel during this period and major cultural and intellectual trends in the modern world. (STAFF) MWF 3 Frye's Anatomy of Criticism will be used as the basis for a discussion of a systematic approach to literary criticism. An attempt will be made to apply Frye's model to a variety of writers, past and contemporary. 426-3 PRACTICAL CRITICISM (LUNN) MWF 1 This course aims to give practice in the elucidation and evalua- tion of literary works. Close-reading of selected works of Joyce (fiction), Hopkins (poetry), and Beckett (drama) will be the means to uncovering major critical problems that arise in judging literature. Creative writing by members of the class will be used when such writing serves the aims of the course. 342 LIT AND CULTURE (McNAMARA) Subtitle: "The Literature of Ireland" MWF t This course, which requires no prior knowledge of the subject, will present a survey of the history of Ireland in relation to a number of selected literary texts drawn from the Gaelic and Anglo-Irish traditions; all readings will be in English.

Students will be asked to present oral reports on specific critical questions, and we will have one or two panel discussions focused on the staging problems pre- sented by particular plays. While our first business will be to understand these plays in their historical context, we shall also be concerned with assessing them as theatre pieces and consid- ering their value for a modern audience. Focus will be on major figures exclusive of Shakespeare: e.g. Marlowe, Jonson, Webster. 231-1 INTRO TO LIT: POETRY (HAYDEN) M i MTWF 4 388 (HUM 239) QUEST UTOPIA IHOLCOMBE) MWF 11 281-8 CORE I: GT ENGLISH BKS (FORSTN ER) 231-2-5 (Sections of above) See time schedule.
