First Summer Session 2009
ENG 650, Section 001K
Seminar in Literature: Lives and Literature of the New England Transcendental Writers
Reference Number 24975
June 8-19, 2009
M-F, 8:30 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Location: On campus
Scope: In this two-week seminar we will spend time in the company of a stimulating group of nineteenth-century poets and essayists known (reluctantly) as the "Transcendentalists"-- Emerson and Thoreau, certainly, but also Margaret Fuller, Bronson Alcott, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Jones Very, and the Brook Farmers. We will read a generous selection of their writing, talk about their lives as authors and thinkers, and take up issues of social and religious reform that contextualize transcendentalist thinking: the miracles controversy, women's rights, anti-slavery and abolitionist efforts, communitarianism, and the like. Activities include lectures, class discussions, reports, group work, and films. Assignments: in addition to the reading, class participation, and attendance, each student will present two short reports to the class and write two essays, one a personal response to the literature, one an analysis of it.
Instructor: Dr. Robert Habich, rhabich@bsu.edu.
