The aim of this course is to introduce you to the strange, worldly- and other-worldly deep history of English literature to prepare you for advanced study. We will focus on literature written in English prior to 1700. Covering a wide range of texts—religious polemic, poetry, drama, travel narratives, and prose fiction—we will explore the “strangeness” of premodern England: a world that is simultaneously familiar and unsettling in its difference from our own twenty-first century Pacific West Coast perspective. Religious reform, explosive mercantile growth, other-world contact, catastrophic disease, the persistent threat of the Islamic Ottoman empire, as well as new technologies such as the printing press and the telescope, transformed how people understood the world around them, how they lived, loved, died, and how they wrote. We will be engaging in the skills of what neuroscientists call “deep reading,” a process that is slow, analytical, and meant to encourage the evocative process of “passing over.” This entails the act of taking on perspectives and feelings of others who are deeply different from ourselves—in time, space, and geography. In doing so, the course will foster encounters and perspectives that will allow us access to feelings, imagining, and thoughts of a world long passed but one that still reaches forward into our present culture. The course encourages that we converse with the dead to better know ourselves.
This course satisfies the following GEs: General Education: Arts & Humanities (AH); Writing Experience (WE)

Chaucer’s last major work is also his most famous, for its lively variety of voices and characters, its humor, its range of genres and literary styles. We will read a substantial selection of the Tales in their original Middle English, thinking about how the Canterbury Tales reflect on the literary traditions Chaucer inherited and the social world of late fourteenth-century England. We will also read modern critical takes on Chaucer and his works as well as a handful of responses to and reworkings of them by contemporary writers. Working with an unfamiliar (but manageable!) version of English is great linguistic strength training for creative and critical writers alike, and reading Chaucer makes it fun.

In this course we study plays from the early part of Shakespeare’s career and thus focus on histories and comedies. We will be especially interested in how these plays were composed to be performed in the Elizabethan theater, considering the plays in relation to four key areas of dramatic production: text, stage, actor, and audience. By attending to the theatrical conditions in which the plays were staged, we will be better positioned to explore the ways these dramas grapple with a range of historical and contemporary concerns, including: political power, social status, religious authority, gender difference, and individual agency.
This course fulfills the General Education World Cultures and Writing Experience requirements. It also fulfills the Upper Division Writing Requirement.
Plays we will read:
The Taming of the Shrew
As You Like It
Richard II
Henry IV, Part I
Richard III

ENL 171B: The Bible As Literature
Location: Hart Hall 1116
Time: MWF 1:10-2:00 PM
Instructor: Waters, Claire

In this course, we will read selections from the Old Testament (that is, the Hebrew Bible, in translation) as centrally important cultural documents of western culture and works of literary artistry in various genres. While the Bible is a foundational religious document in many traditions, we will not be looking at it as theology or revelation; respect for others’ religious or non-religious orientation is important, but we will be focusing on the Bible’s literary aspects—genre, character, plot, setting, theme, poetic or prose form, repetition, allegory, metaphor, symbolism—and its cultural significance for believers and non-believers alike.

Between the 4th and the 12th centuries lies a period, which for Europe and the Middle East marks the beginning of contemporary life. This period brings intellectual ferment and open-mindedness of the Umayyads in Damascus and the Abbisids in Baghdad, the transcendence and political sophistication of the Eastern Roman Empire and Charlemagne in Western Europ. It was also an extraordinary time for the Song Dynasty in China, the Kingdom of Silla in Korea, the Nara Period in Japan, the Ghana Empire and the Ancestral Puebloans of North America. These society produce exceptional human achievements in philosophy, medicine, astronomy, navigation, poetry and many aspects of modern life.
