This course focuses on British literary works from the Romantic Period (1770-1832). It is a period of literal and literary revolutions with writers actively engaging with real world issues which continue to resonate in our time—the role of the individual in society, the effects of technology, poverty, race relations, class, gender expectations, and the question of what “counts” as literature. Recognizing the prominence of poetry in the Romantic Period, works by both canonical and lesser-known poets such as Joanna Baillie, William Blake, George Gordon Byron, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Felicia Hemans, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Charlotte Smith, and Dorothy and William Wordsworth will be studied. Attention will also be given to novelists including Jane Austen, Maria Edgeworth, Gregory Lewis, Walter Scott, and Ann Radcliffe; essayists like Edmund Burke, William Hazlitt, Richard Price, and Mary Wollstonecraft; and journalists like William Cobbett and Leigh Hunt. Evaluation includes classroom participation, an annotated bibliography, essay assignments, seminar presentations, and a final exam. Is this a General Education course?

X Library Statement (Compulsory) All the works listed in the provided bibliographies are currently available through the Libraries at York. As the Libraries actively collect scholarly monographs published within the subject areas of 18th century English literature, 19th century English literature, romanticism, love in literature, women and literature, literary history, English poetry, and other related areas, a strong variety of research materials will be available to students through our collections. The Libraries also offer access to a number of subject and multidisciplinary databases such as MLA International Bibliography, Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Literature Criticism Online, and Literature Online for the retrieval of journal literature in these areas. Frost Library will secure a copy of the Greenblatt (2018) anthology set listed in the supplied bibliographies when it becomes available for purchase in June 2018. The Libraries at York are in a strong position to support these new courses. GL/EN 3331 3.0/6.0: Into the Fray: British Literature from the Romantic Period Departmental overview: This course, along with its companion (GL/EN 3332 3.00/6.00 Down the Rabbit Hole: British Literature from the Victorian Period), is intended to revise and replace the Department’s “old” offerings in nineteenth-century British literature (GL/EN3322 and GL/EN3330). The division of the century into two coherent wholes, the “Romantic” and the “Victorian,” enables the program to cover two distinct and rich literary periods in greater depth and breadth, and introduces the students to the history of ideas in an age of revolution and accelerated social change through a heightened emphasis on the socio-cultural and political contexts informing the production and reception of the works. The course will typically be offered in a full-year format, but the emphasis on a single subfield of the nineteenth century does allow for a coherent delivery of the material (with an adjustment for depth and breadth of knowledge) even in the one-term format. The possibility of teaching the course as a 3.00 is a vital component of the redesigned English program in which a category can be satisfied by 3 credits, and it offers greater flexibility in departmental staffing in any year.

  • THE ONE and the MANY English-Canadian Short Story Cycles
    THE ONE AND THE MANY English-Canadian Short Story Cycles Gerald Lynch 'VER THE PAST HUNDRED years the short story cycle has Q 1 become something of a sub-genre within the Canadian short story. This is not to argue that the story cycle has been ignored by American and British writers ( or by French, Australian, and Russian writers, or, for that matter, by the writers of any other national literature) — it hasn't — only that the form has held a special at- traction for Canadian writers. Doubtless there are shared reasons for the story cycle's current popularity internationally and in Canada, even such commercial reasons as its attraction for publishers who assume that readers are more comfort- able with the linkages of the cycle than with the discontinuities of a miscellany. But such matters are not within this paper's literary-historical and theoretical scope. The present study sketches the history of the story cycle in Canada, gives an idea of its diversity and continuing popularity, considers some of the fundamental ques- tions about this comparatively new form, and concludes with an illustrative analysis of the function of one important aspect of story cycles, their concluding stories. Although the short story is the youngest of genres, beginning only in the early nineteenth century, literary historians and theorists often begin their discussions by casting back to the Story of Job, even to pre-literate oral history, so that the epic poems of various cultures are made to seem proto short story cycles.2 Thus aca- demics dress their new subject in the respectable robes of a literary history.

  • Modernism on the 'Margin' – the 'Margin' on Modernism
    MTA Doktora Pályázat (dc_1044_15) Modernism on the 'Margin' – The 'Margin' on Modernism. Manifestations in Canadian Culture Válasz az opponensi véleményekre Mindenek előtt köszönettel tartozom opponenseimnek, hogy vállalták dolgozatom értékelését, bár más tudományterületre, illetve más kultúrába kellett átlépniük, mint talán szűkebben vett kutatási területük. Köszönöm Oliver Botar elismerő szavait az elméleti és történelmi háttér kidolgozására vonatkozóan. A kanadai professzor ugyanakkor nem rejti véka alá hiányérzeteit: megjegyzi, hogy a 'faji', 'etnicitásbeli', illetve a 'társadalmi nem'-et érintő szempontok egyenetlen mértékben érvényesülnek az elemzések során – ez részemről tudatos döntés volt, amint azt a Bevezetés utolsó bekezdésében (12.o.) kifejtettem, egyrészt amiatt, hogy ezek önálló szakterületek a tudományágon belül (Jewish Studies, Gender Studies, Etnic/Minority/Indigenous Studies), ily módon létezik szakirodalom ezeket részleteiben bemutatva, másrészt az érvelés koherenciája sérült volna beemelésükkel. Emily Carr-ral több tanulmány is foglalkozik az őslakos művészet és a nem-őslakos művész problematikájával összefüggésben (pl. Charles C. Hill az 1927-es National Gallery-ben rendezett kiállítást elemezve az Emily Carr. New Perspectives on a Canadian Icon című kötetben), ennek okából már nem kívántam kitérni erre az aspektusra. Lévén, hogy szakterületem az összehasonlító irodalomtudomány, nem érzem magam megfelelően kompetensnek képzőművészeti életművek értékelését illetően, mint amilyen a torontói Francis Loring és Florence

Eat at home and buy the books. Jack Rabinovitch1 Founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch, the Giller Prize was established to honour Rabinovitch’s late wife, the journalist Doris Giller, who had died from cancer a year earlier.2 Since its inception, the prize has served to recognize excellence in Canadian English-language fiction, including both novels and short stories. Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

Although Charles Boatman’s suicide lies at the centre of the narrative, Dthe novel — and Charles himself — is also haunted by other deaths: the death of Charles’s ex-wife, Sara, the deaths of innocents in Vietnam, and the deaths of animals. It rotates around various absences and, as is frequently the case in Bergen’s fiction, highlights individual suffering and alienation within the family unit1: Charles returns to Vietnam in the hope of ascribing meaning to the “great field of nothing” that he has experienced since the war (38), while two of his children, Ada and Jon, travel to Vietnam to search for their missing father only to discover he has committed suicide.

  • Oneworld Readers' Guide
    Oneworld Readers’ Guide The Orenda Joseph Boyden 1640s, The New World In the remote winter landscape a brutal massacre and the kidnapping of a young Iroquois girl violently re-ignites a deep rift between two tribes. The girl’s captor, Bird, is one of the Huron Nation’s great warriors and statesmen. Years have passed since the murder of his family, and yet they are never far from his mind. In the girl, Snow Falls, he recognizes the ghost of his lost daughter, but as he fights for her heart and allegiance, small battles erupt into bigger wars as both tribes face a new, more dangerous threat from afar. Travelling with the Huron is Christophe, a charismatic missionary who has found his calling among the tribe and devotes himself to learning and understanding their customs and language. An emissary from distant lands, he brings much more than his faith to this new world, with its natural beauty and riches. As these three souls dance with each other through intricately woven acts of duplicity, their social, political and spiritual worlds collide - and a new nation rises from a world in flux. About the Author Joseph Boyden’s first novel, Three Day Road, was selected for the Today Show Book Club, and it won the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, the Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award, as well as numerous others. His second novel, Through Black Spruce, was awarded the Scotiabank Giller Prize and named the Canadian Booksellers Association Book of the Year; it also earned him the CBA’s Author of the Year Award.
