  • ENGL 111 SC - Shakespeare: Comedies and Histories


    This course sets histories from Shakespeare’s two tetralogies alongside early and late comedies including The Taming of the Shrew and Measure for Measure, focusing on aspects of the plays that resist easy generic categorization. We will consider the complicated relationship between historical fact and historical drama, exploring the challenges and opportunities that Shakespeare faced in putting figures from the distant and the recent past on the early modern stage. In analyzing his range of comic modes, moreover, we will observe that farce and witty word-play go hand in hand with incisive social commentary that is often not very funny at all.

We will also attend to the complex motivations of the protagonists who give these plays their names. In turning to the romances, we will consider how style and subject matter (as well as chronology) mark these late plays: should we read them as tragedies gone wrong-or gone right?

  • ENGL 115 SC - Milton


    This course is an in-depth study of the poetry and major prose of John Milton. At the heart of the course is “Paradise Lost,” the epic poem for which Milton is most famous and whose influence is perceptible across and beyond the Western literary canon. Alongside this we will consider Milton’s early lyric and late dramatic poetry and the sources that shaped it, as well as examples of his polemical prose writing on subjects ranging from divorce to the freedom of the press. Our discussions will explore Milton’s literary engagement with such issues as political tyranny, the status and rights of women, scientific innovation, human agency and free will, and the role of poetry itself in a rapidly changing world.

  • ENGL 116 SC - Early Modern Outsiders


    This course focuses on those positioned-by accident or design-on the margins of early modern English literary culture We will read polemical literature that has an explicit agenda against particular individuals or groups alongside texts that engage in more complex ways with racial, religious, and sexual difference.

We will read texts by authors including Francis Bacon, Margaret Cavendish, John Milton, and George Puttenham with reference to contemporaneous works produced in different geographical (primarily European) locations. Our discussions will consider the role of humanist philosophy and pedagogy in shaping how prominent authors of the period theorized literary writing, and will examine their attempts to use poetry sometimes in making polemical public arguments, and sometimes in retreating from such argumentation altogether.

  • ENGL 146S SC - Theory of the American Novel


    This course offers a history of the development of the novel genre in the United States. The main focus of the class will be reading significant American novels from the 1790s through the early 20th century. The class will examine how these novels both participated in and were shaped by various social, political, and cultural developments of the long nineteenth century, including(among many others) the contest to define democracy in the early republic, the explosion of writing by and for women in the 1840s and 50s, the antebellum struggles over slavery, and the rise of modern social movements. The class will also consider writing about novels-from both 19th-century writers and later scholars-giving particular attention to accounts of what distinguishes “the American Novel” from other national traditions, especially the English novel. It will also consider the limitations of accounts that understand the development of the novel in such national terms. In addition, this course will offer an introduction to the subfield of 20th and 21st-century literary theory known as “theory of the novel.” We will both consider how these theories of the genre illuminate the novels that we are reading and consider the ways in which these grand theories of the novel cannot account for the genre as it developed in the US. This course meets the senior seminar requirement for Scripps English majors (please see “Senior Requirement in the English major” in the catalog) but is open to all students.

  • ENGL 183 SC - Women Explain Themselves: Gendered Prose


    This course examines how gendered literary conventions have shaped and constrained women’s first-person prose across a variety of genres, both fictional and non-fictional, from the seventeenth century through the present. We will investigate how women negotiated these conventions within conversion narratives, slave narratives, novels, autobiography, and essays. And we will pay special attention to how contemporary writers - including non-binary and gender-nonconforming writers - have invoked this literary history in their work. For the final assignment, students will draft and workshop an essay - modeled on readings by Rebecca Solnit, Alice Walker, and others - that fuses literary criticism with personal narrative grounded in gendered experience.

  • FREN 110 SC - Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité? France and the Crises of Globalization


    As elsewhere in the world, neoliberal globalization in France has created winners and losers, resulting in the exacerbation of economic, social, and racial inequalities. The backlash against globalization has taken many forms, from the rise of nationalist populism and its anti-immigrant, anti-European Union sentiments on the far-right, to protest movements such as “Nuit-Debout” on the far-left. To understand these developments, we will explore: recent industrial dislocations; immigration in the postwar period; the legacy of French colonialism; Islam in France; the “banlieues” as a site of contestation; the recent refugee crisis; Charlie-Hebdo and other recent terrorist attacks and their aftermaths. Taught in French.

  • FREN 113 SC - Banned in France: Censorship Debates in Eighteenth-Century France

Three questions guide our readings and discussions: “Can religion be laughed at?” “How and why is sex and sexual violence discussed in public?” “Can theater change, or merely reflect ideas?” Our purpose is not to find definitive answers, but to understand and critically assess how texts grapple with these questions in the eighteenth century and today. Readings will include Diderot, Gouges, Rousseau, Voltaire, and a range of current texts, from press articles to scholarly essays.

And like many other forms of art, it aspires to transform reality by changing the way we see it. Using French and Francophone films as examples, this course will explore the diversity of ways in which, since its inception in 1895 and the Lumiere brothers’ 50 second films, ”Le Cinéma du Réel” has not ceased to reinvent itself, becoming today one of the most protean forms of cultural intervention.

Literary texts include Tristan & Yseut, Don Juan, Manon Lescaut, Madame Bovary, and L’Amant; theorists include De Beauvoir, Foucault, Irigaray, Barthes, Bourdieu.

  • FREN 124 SC - Writings of Freedom & Desire


    This course examines the journeys of desire at the heart of four profoundly diverse French texts dating from the 17th to the 20th century. From Mme de Lafayette’s courtly Versailles novel to the Balzacian salon; and through the eyes of Colette’s “Gigi” and the passions of Marguerite Duras’ “Lover”, we will examine the protagonists’ quests for freedom from shiny rings, golden cages, and strict expectations. Underpinning the construction of feminine identity central to each of the texts will be a charting of the evolution of French fiction.

  • FREN 125 SC - The French Detective and Classic Crime Fiction


    French mystery novels are steeped in crime, grime, and wine. And they abound in evocative detective figures. Some of these sleuths, such as Vidocq (1809), are felons turned policemen while others, such as Arsène Lupin (1905), are themselves masters of the caper. Maigret from the 1930s emerged as the compassionate lawman of the people, Nestor Burma from the 1950s as the ultimate hard-boiled private detective whereas Commissaire Adamsberg, from the 1990s, is the puzzle-solving dreamer. Through a selection of short stories, novel and graphic novels, TV and film, we will examine how French mystery novels explore and construct Gallic wit, personality, and social mores from the 1800s to today. Course is taught in French.

  • FREN 127 SC - Films de Femmes: French Contemporary Women Directors


    The first film director ever in the history of narrative cinema was a French woman, Alice Guy-Blaché who, starting in 1896, made over a thousand films. Even though early precursors like Guy-Blaché were often erased from film history, women directors in France have a long tradition to draw from. It is this tradition of women film-making that we will explore in this course, focusing in particular on a new generation of women directors who today are revitalizing contemporary French cinema. Directors to be studied will include: Dulac, Duras, Varda, Akerman, Kurys, Sciamma, Denis, Zlotowski, Labrune, Maïwenn, Jaoui, Hansen-Love, Quillevéré, Benguigui.

  • FREN 128 SC - Writing Memory


    This course focuses on a group of texts that emerge out of the occupation of France during World War II. Some are diaries or autobiographical accounts while others are works of fiction published long after the end of the war. All are concerned with how memory and the self are written and, taken together, they constitute an informal archive standing against oblivion. This course is designed around the exhibition “Hélène Berr, A Stolen Life,” to be held at the Scripps Clark Humanities Museum, and a significant portion of the course will be spent studying French survivors’ audiovisual testimonies. We will be asking what testimonies, in all their forms, do to literature and how literature interacts with other sources. Special attention will be given to accounts given by women and they will be read in contrast with accounts written about women.

    Theatrical performance was a crucial feature of the French Revolution, but what made it “revolutionary?” How was drama tied to concerns over democracy, equality, and citizenship? Plays by Chénier, Gouges, Maréchal and others will inform discussion early in the semester. Next, to critically assess the complicated legacy of the 1790s, we will turn to its depiction in work by Mnouchkine, Condé, and Diop. Finally, the semester will culminate with staged readings of scenes from the plays studied. Conducted in French.
