授業の内容や構成
Course Content / Plan | | This course covers a wide range of ideas about the nature, purpose, and interpretation of literature. We study works spanning ancient to modern that address the following questions: What defines literature? Why do we read it? How have approaches to understanding a text changed over the course of history? How do we determine what imaginative writing means? Must it conform to certain rules in order to be considered excellent—or even considered art at all? Should the critic pursue the ideal of disinterestedness? What is the Western literary tradition, and how have women writers fitted into and challenged it?
Each week, the theories we explore are paired with poems or short stories that illustrate (and, at times, complicate) them. Among the critics we contemplate are Walter Pater, Wimsatt and Beardsley, Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag, and Stanley Fish. Authors to be discussed include Plato, Horace, Philip Sidney, William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, Emily Dickinson, Henry James, Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, and Jorge Luis Borges. |
