Just before the turns of the 19th and 20th centuries, the vogues of Gothicism and Naturalism, respectively, featured radical imaginations that shocked readers and redefined the terms of literature. Works by British and U.S. writers will provide a study of the phenomenon of creative extremity, as well as its influence and enduring power. Credit hours: 4. Prerequisite: 1100- or 2200-level literature course or permission of instructor. Alternate years. (AE)
