11/30: Excerpt from Douglass and "The Two Drovers" by Sir Walter Scott. Written only about 15 years about in the mid-1800s, these texts are a study in cultural and class distinctions. But that's rather obvious, isn't it?
12/2: Back to nonfiction: Sigmund Freud's essay, discussed in our Conrad class, on "The Uncanny." Read parts 1-3.
12/7: Widely considered America's best living novelist, Philip Roth has won more literary awards than any U.S. writer - ever. Consider the beginning of his Pulitzer novel, American Pastoral. Also, read and post on the texts for Presentation 8.
12/9: Jean Toomer is an example of a difficult and poetic modernist writer and one of the most exceptional examples of the Harlem Renaissance of the '20s. His collection of vignettes, Cane, is loose-knit and impressionistic in the extreme. Therefore, it can be fruitfully read in excerpt. Also, please consider the texts for Presentation 9.
12/14: Leftover texts; review; finishing touches on papers / exams.
12/16: Final due.
