1215B253 011.0Romanticism
This course explores the Romantic movement of English literature, focusing on the fiction, prose and poetry of the years 1745 to 1848. This century marked revolutions in almost every cultural sphere — expansions in poolitics, the arts, literature, and science were matched by writers looking inward to the thoughts and passions of individuals as they never had before. As we explore these innovative works, we will be reading over the shoulders of later writers whose reflections have shaped our understanding of the period, from Jane Austen and Mary Shelley to Tom Stoppard.

NEW COURSE.This course aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to film. Structurally, it will trace film's historical trajectory beginning with its invention as a technology, a look at early cinema as well as an exploration of film's prototypes. The course concludes with an exploration of film's reinvention as an apparatus in the age of digital filmmaking, a reinvention augured by contestations to the studio in avant-garde and experimental film forms.
