41. Enlightenment Exotica
    Popular Fiction by Women, 16601730, ed. Paula Backscheider and John Richetti Oliver Goldsmith, Citizen of the World, letters 1-5.

    Extractions: Objectives The general objective of this course is to explore notions of the exotic in the British eighteenth century, and to do so in a number of specific linguistic and social contexts. The Enlightenment in Europe (and North America) is usually considered as an 18 th -century movement driven by reason, empirical science, secularism, and philosophical and cultural absolutes. It is a problematic moment in our cultural and literary history because of the strongly ambivalent judgment and feelings it still arouses: it has been lauded as a period of great scientific and artistic progress and civilization, establishing some of the best things about the modern world; and it has been criticized as hegemonic, anti-democratic, and racist — as the origins of some of the worst aspects of the modern world. This course, however, aims to consider some of the more liminal, and underworld aspects of this complex moment in our history, and to consider self-reflexive and skeptical texts and discourses that question the orthodox protocols of the culture, and run counter to the prevailing notions of the Enlightenment. We will explore four inter-connected forms of cultural representation: history and forgery; sex, sensibility and society; race and imperialism; and travel.

    Extractions: And by appointment When O.J. Simpson was found not guilty in his murder trial, most people recognized that the outcome had been shaped not only by the financial resources of the accused, but also by the superior rhetorical skills of his legal team. While the prosecutors naively seemed to conduct their case as if the truth of events would spontaneously manifest itself, Cockrane, Bailey, Schiff and the others understood that the truth of events was uncertain, disputable, and capable of being associated with volatile social issues (e.g., racial profiling) that could be worked for specific ends. Most importantly, they knew that a trial has a kind of narrative coherence, and that the team that produces the most compelling story of the events under dispute, is likely to prevail with the jury. Justice and law are clearly not the same things. A relationship between narrative coherence and legal efficacy is fundamental not only to criminal and trial law, but also to political law, constitutional law, and jurisprudence. Yet the idea that our legal institutions are based on forms of argumentation that resemble literary constructions – stories, narratives, rhetoric, metaphor, character development, and so forth – is disturbing to layperson and professional alike. This course aims to investigate some important intersections between law and literature in

    Extractions: ‘Delectando monemus — instruction with delight’ – The motto on the first of Newbery’s books for children. "None other than the philanthropic publisher in St Paul's Churchyard, who has written so many little books for children. He called himself their friend, but he was the friend of all mankind. He was no sooner alighted than he was in haste to be gone, for he was ever on business of the utmost importance." Oliver Goldsmith's sketch of a character based on Newbery from The Vicar of Wakefield He was born in Waltham St Lawrence, the son of a farmer. In 1730 William Carnan, printer of the Reading Mercury, employed him in Reading. Carnan died in 1737 and Newbery inherited part of his estate, and in 1739 he married Mary, Carnan’s widow, who was six years his senior. In 1740 he began publishing books and in the next few years, at the Bible and Crown, Market Place, Reading, he established a local circulating library, a wholesale drapery, and started widening the circulation of the Reading Mercury through a network of agents. In 1743 Newbery opened a shop in London. In 1744 he published A Little Pretty Pocket Book, the first of his many children’s books, probably like some of the others written by Newbery himself. Children’s books were not unknown at the time, but Newbery was the first publisher to specialize in them and to take care over their illustrations and production, and to employ good writers such as Oliver Goldsmith. His other publications included the first children’s encyclopedia in 1745 and the first magazine for children in 1751, and famously The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes (1766). Newbery was well known in literary circles and published several adult bestsellers including works by Dr Johnson, and also supported the poet Christopher Smart, who married his stepdaughter. To commemorate his vital contribution to children’s literature, the American Library Association annually awards the prestigious Newbery medal to the most distinguished new American children's book.

    http://www2.oakland.edu/english/connery/370_00.htm
    
    Extractions: Brian Connery 517 Wilson Hall, x 2267 connery@oakland.edu Course Description : We'll spend the semester exploring the literature and culture of the period 1660-1798. After a brief introduction to the ideas, politics, and mores of early modern England, we'll linger a while to explore what is arguably the high point in the history of English comedy (1660-1700) in the works of Behn and Etherege.. In prose fiction, we'll trace the rise of the English novel, through the works Behn, Defoe, Richardson, and Fielding. And in verse, we'll trace poetry's flight from the court in London to the countryside, as we read representative poems by Rochester, Behn, Swift, Finch, Thomson, Gray, and Goldsmith. Throughout the semester, we'll be trying to define the character of the age by examining the forces in cultural history that produced simultaneously the decline of the comic drama, the rise of the novel, and the rustification of verse. To further this investigation, we'll read intensively in Addison and Steele's essays from The Tatler and The Spectator

    Extractions: The History of Theatre in the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries is one of the increasing commercialization of the art, accompanied by technological innovations, the introduction of serious critical review, expansion of the subject matters portrayed to include ordinary people, and an emphasis on more natural forms of acting. Theatre, which had been dominated by the Church for centuries, and then by the tastes of monarchs for more than 200 years, became accessible to merchants, industrialists, the bourgeoise and then the masses. In this section we give a brief sketch of the development of theatre during the last three centuries. Theatre in England during the 18th Century was dominated by an actor of genius, David Garrick (1717-1779), who was also a manager and playwright. Garrick emphasized a more natural form of speaking and acting that mimicked life. His performances had a tremendous impact on the art of acting, from which ultimately grew movements such as realism and naturalism. Garrick finally banished the audience from the stage, which shrunk to behind the proscenium where the actors now performed among the furnishings, scenery and stage settings.
