Each genre will be discussed, followed by a close reading of the relevant text, encompassing: tragedy, revenge drama, comedy, tragicomedy, and problem plays. Each text will be contextually considered within the pertinent socio-cultural background, to illustrate the mutual influence of drama and ideology. Relevant critical articles will also be studied to evaluate the changing methodological approaches to the world of Shakespeare.

| 0626.2074 סיפורת לפני מלחמת האזרחים ANTEBELLUM FICTION | |
| ד"ר מלאת שמיר SHAMIR, Dr. Milette | שו"ת |
| "What is an American?" This question, posed by writer St. Jean de Crevecoeur in an essay by that title only a few short years after the American Revolution, continued to occupy American writers in the decades to come. Writers from Cooper to Melville attempted to formulate a coherent and inclusive American identity, an attempt that often involved the negation, exclusion, or suppression of alternatives. This course will examine debates over national character and national identity as they played themselves out in both canonical and neglected texts, through transformations in language, literary genres, and prose styles.
TEXTS will include novels by J. F. Cooper, Fanny Fern, and Harriet Wilson, and short works of fiction by Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and H. D. Thoreau. REQUIREMENTS: attendance and participation, short reading responses, short paper, and final exam. | |

| 0626.2081 דיקנס CHARLES DICKENS | |
| גב' גליה בנזימן BENZIMAN, GALIA | ק"מ |
| The most popular novelist of his own day, Charles Dickens (1812-1870) has been dubbed “the Shakespeare of the novel” by more than one twentieth-century critic, and his corpus has not ceased to attract massive critical attention and a large readership.
The aim of this course is twofold: first, to do close reading of a selection of fictional and non-fictional writings by Dickens, and examine his style, thematic concerns, and narrative technique; second, to familiarize the students with the literary, intellectual, social, and political milieu in which Dickens lived and worked. We will try to establish possible links between his poetics, manifesting a unique mixture of satire and sentimentality, and his outspoken, yet sometimes inconsistent, social views. TEXTS: We will be reading a variety of texts by Dickens – the novelist, the public figure, and the private man. Our primary texts will be the novels Oliver Twist and Hard Times and the novella A Christmas Carol, as well as excerpts from Sketches by Boz and a selection of letters, public speeches, and essays. Besides these, we will look at excerpts from critical evaluations of Dickens’s novels from the nineteenth century to the present. REQUIREMENTS: one exam, one paper, participation in class discussion. | |

| In this course we will read postmodern works of fiction.

| 0626.2103 מילטון Milton | |
| ד"ר מירי באום Miri Tashma-Baum | שו"ת |
| John Milton is often considered the greatest English writer of the seventeenth century, and one of the most interesting, moving, and influential writers in the history of English literature as a whole. The course will consist of readings of selected parts of the work of John Milton, primarily of Milton’s chief work, the Biblical epic Paradise Lost, whose year of publication often marks the end of the English literary Renaissance. The epic - a long narrative poems that tells of and celebrates heroic figures and their achievements - was traditionally considered the most prestigious
literary genre, the one in which the mature poet examines and re-asserts the beliefs and values of his culture. Milton’s epic was unique in giving this classical genre a Christian plot, and as we follow some of the twists and turns of the epic adventures, we will discover that while it tells an exciting story, the epic also affords fascinating insights into the thoughts, beliefs and deep-rooted anxieties of the period, a time of immense political, social and intellectual activity and change. | |

We will begin with its folklore roots and proceed to examine the most famous fairy tales past and present, and the genre as a whole, from varying perspectives: historical, psychoanalytical, structuralist, feminist and socialist.

We will discuss texts that combine between visual images and the narrative mode in the form of collaborations between photographers and writers, as well as independent explorations of the two medium by a single author. In addition, the course will discuss texts which introduce descriptions of photographs (prose photos) into a narrative and consider the manner in which they influence the flow of the narrative and impact the reader on multiple levels.

| 0626.2240 מיקצב וריתמוס בשירה Rhythms in Poetry | |
| טרטקובסקי רועי Roi Tartakovsky | ק"מ |
| We are surrounded by rhythm. Rhythm exists in many of our everyday activities (walking, reading) and in many processes around us (a school year, seasons). Rhythm comes to us from the outside (wheels of a train) and from the inside (heartbeats). In poetry rhythm is crucial to the overall effect, and some have even suggested that it is a defining feature. Whether in metrical verse, or in some forms of free-verse, rhythm works in various ways as a poetic device. In this class we will read poems by poets as diverse as Dickinson, Shakespeare, Herrick, Cummings, Creeley, and Keats, and try to understand some the ways rhythm functions in the poems.

| ד"ר מלאת שמיר SHAMIR, Dr. Milette | סמינר ב"א |
| Few literary conventions teach us as much about the culture that produced them as the coming-of-age plot. In charting the transition from childhood to adulthood, this plot explores the most basic definitions governing normative identity in a given social setting. For many years, however, discussion of this genre focused on male-authored texts, from Wilhelm Meister and David Copperfield, to Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and The Catcher on the Rye. This seminar will center, instead, on female-authored coming-of-age stories, and will address such questions as: what happens to this genre when it is appropriated by women? How is the "adult woman" defined in different historical moments? Are there common threads (mother-daughter relations, conflict between love and labor, paths of socialization and resistance) that connect older and contemporary writing about female maturation?
TEXTS will include works of fiction by Louisa May Alcott, Carson McCullers, Katherine Anne Porter, Sylvia Plath, Jamaica Kincaid, and others. REQUIREMENTS: active participation, preparation of study questions, quizzes, and a seminar paper. | |

| ד"ר מלאת שמיר SHAMIR, Dr. Milette | סמינר |
| After centuries of wondering "what is femininity?" intellectuals are currently fascinated by a second question, implied in the first: what is masculinity? This seminar builds up from two basic assumptions: that masculinity, like femininity, is a fictional construct, and that, as such, it is not the exclusive property of one race, sexuality, or sex. The first part of the semester will be devoted to a critical examination of some of the major theories about masculinity originating from feminist theory, psychoanalytical thought, cultural studies, and the emergent field of men's studies. In the second part we will look at various representations of men, manhood, and masculinity in 19th and 20th-century US cultures, from the rugged individual to the urban rebel, from the white-collar worker to the gender outlaw.
