10961 2060.06N Major American Writers, MWF 1000A-1050A (PRINCE): The American Literature I present is not always the most pleasant to read. So, if you are squeamish, easily frightened, prone to nightmares, find nudity appalling, profane language unbearable, copious amounts of blood nauseating, and cold blooded murder not your cup of poisoned tea then I suggest that you run as fast as you can to another American Literature class because, in this class, my class, you will learn about the type of humans, if, indeed, they are human, who have strange motives to get what they want by any means possible. I will present to you the cockroach on the wedding cake, dance with the devil at the reception, and introduce the bride with blood on her hands, nasty mothers, naughty children, and tormented men.

ENGL 2060.02I (NORWOOD) Major American Writers: The Lost Generation. This course's aim is to introduce the student to representative works (both canonical and non-canonical) of American writers between the World Wars, specifically focusing on the period between 1914 and 1945 when Americans and American expatriates helped to forge modern and modernist styles in the arts. This objective will be accomplished through wide and varied readings of selected primary and secondary texts (with the emphasis on primary readings). The second aim of the course is to continue to provide the student with extended practice in the various conventions of writing about literary works. To meet this aim, students will produce a number of different written assignments ranging from short summary assignments to formal documented critical essays that incorporate relevant print and Internet secondary sources.

ENGL 2060.05I (CRANK) Major American Writers: This class is a bit different from a standard "Major American Writers" class in that we will focus on American literary texts whose primary focus is exploring the contradictory and compelling region of the American South. Our readings will take us from the early 19th century into the early 21st century. We'll start with texts that first begin to articulate Southern identity, and follow the South's progression in literature from the Civil War to the Southern Renaissance, and finally to contemporary Southern fiction, poetry and drama. We'll be interested in understanding not only Southerners' relationship to American literature but also how they construct themselves in their own texts. Along the way, we'll make intertextual connections among the selections we read, and try to formulate some kind of definition of the movement Southern writers have made as both writer and subject to be written on in roughly two centuries of American literature.

Employing these literary works as catalysts to class discussion, the course will act as a guided forum for practicing critical reading, writing, and thinking. Rather than a series of lectures, this writing intensive course will function as a workshop for students to engage with concepts as well as possible approaches to the presentation of ideas and information both inside and outside of the classroom setting.

11013 4230.01N LITERATURE AND THE ENVIR W 0200P-0450P (MCFARLAND): This class explores the vital relationship between literature and environmental values, asking how changing literary interpretations of the land and animals have influenced attitudes toward nonhuman nature. We'll focus specifically on writings by women authors from Native and First Peoples traditions to survey environmental perspectives across the diversity of American literature. Some questions we'll ask: why have authors been so consistently concerned with-and inspired by-the idea of wilderness? What can environmental literature add to current scholarship about race, class, and gender? Do literary environments have to be "natural"? And what literary interpretations of environment will be likely in the future?

11016 4420.01N LITERARY CRITICISM T 0200P-0450P (MCFARLAND): Northrop Frye has said that any student in any college-level course about literary theory is already certain to have adopted a variety of highly sophisticated (and highly theoretical, if not consciously so) interpretive strategies to decode the variety of texts and signs we are confronted with in our contemporary world. I agree! Although many students approach literary theory as though it's some mysterious code needed to 'properly' decipher literature, in reality you already know the code-you just need the words to describe it. The choice, then, is between becoming aware of the theoretical approaches used and not being aware of those approaches. That's why the goal of this class is to name and differentiate between the various 20th century literary theories and help you clearly articulate your own theoretical lens.
Required books include F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby (any complete version), Mary Klages's Literary Theory: A Guide for the Perplexed (Continuum 2006) and Lois Tyson's Critical Theory Today (2nd ed. Routledge 2006).
