Texts: Specific texts, and a course-pack of collected texts, will be available at the McGill BookstoreĮvaluation: Midterm essay (25%) final essay (35%) final exam (30%) course participation (10%)ĭescription: This course will canvas some of the “origins” of the English novel and trace its development (particularly as anti-romance satire and realism) up to the mid-eighteenth century. Our literary study of the decade will also regularly cast an eye to other examples of popular print culture, including contemporary news from home and abroad, tales of piracy on lawless seas, and accounts of witchcraft and other strange crimes. We will follow the decade’s prose as it ranges broadly from proto-novelistic romances to satirical pamphleteering, from underworld documentary to exotic travel narratives. We will also keep an eye on the theatrical context, studying works by popular playwrights such as Christopher Marlowe, Thomas Kyd, William Shakespeare and Thomas Dekker. We will read and discuss examples from popular contemporary poetic genres such as the sonnet sequence, the epyllion, and the pastoral. He tells us how he came to Semafor the Venn diagram between media, politics, Hollywood and pretty much everything else in life about Semafor’s attempts to balance out news and opinion and whether covering the White House was anything like The West Wing.Description: In this course we will survey the 1590s, one of the most remarkable decades in English literary history, one which saw the initial publication of major works by Spenser, Sidney, Shakespeare, Marlowe, Lodge, Greene, Nashe, Deloney, Drayton, Daniel, and Bacon, among others.

Interview: The Atlantic’s newly appointed executive director of audience research And finally, this sad little culture-war spat that has occupied the British press for days, replacing real issues on the front pages with a handy distraction from our country’s failing leadership. When a sitting Tory MP is tweeting #defundtheBBC, the agenda is obvious and they are damaging the credibility of our national broadcaster at every turn. However reasoned the link Lineker made with the rhetoric common in Germany in the 30s, it has only served to give the government cover.Īnd on the other side, the hypocrisy from the BBC management and our so-called leaders is off the charts. I dislike the present government of the UK (a lot), but they are not fascists or Nazis and to suggest they are belittles the people who suffered appallingly at the hands of that regime. The key points for me were actually summed up excellently by Charlotte Henry last week when the whole thing blew up.
