ENGL 241 Currents in British Literature Decadence 3 credits
and the Pleasure Principle
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD
GEP/GFR:Meets AH. "Wickedness is a myth
invented by good people to account for the
curious attractiveness of others," said
Oscar Wilde, wicked wit and figurehead of
the Decadent movement in the arts
-Victorian England's equivalent to the
cult of "sex & drugs & rock n' roll" and
"it's better to burn out than to fade
away." In this discussion-oriented class,
we'll read novels, essays, poems and plays
by Wilde and others who challenged
traditional values and explored
sensuality, style, idleness, and moral and
artistic "perversion" as keys to
self-knowledge and human progress. We'll
also read some anti-Decadent and some
non-fiction works in order to get a sense
of the world that these writers lived in
and reacted against, and we'll glance at
Dostoyevsky, Baudelaire, and some
20th-century experiments in decadence.

religious orthodoxy and postmodern
secularism. This course incorporates the
writings of select Jewish American writers
from the late 18th to the 21st centuries

experience of Jews in America. Texts for
this course highlight American Jewish
literary creativity in a variety of forms
including fiction, non-fiction, memoir,
poetry, humor, drama, and film.
Prerequisite: Completion of a 200-level

ENGL 350 Major British and American Writers : 3 credits
Milton at 400
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Milton at 400
has a double aim: to understand the works
of John Milton in their
seventeenth-century context and to explore
the long afterlife and influence of those
works in English literature. Milton's
impact on later centuries is immeasurable.
Born in 1608, his poetry, which many would
claim is inextricable from his politics,
has for four hundred years awed,
overwhelmed, inspired, and stifled writers
in his tradition. Throughout this course
we will read not only such poets as Andrew
Marvell, who had direct contact with
Milton in the kiln of the English Civil
War, but also those such as William Blake
and Percy Shelley, who, over one hundred
years later still felt the need to respond
to him. We will trace Milton's biographies
from the earliest record offered by his
nephew in the seventeenth century to the
great nineteenth-century biographies; and
we will balance the biographical material
with the famous (and sometimes notorious)
English poet/critics of Milton, such as
Samuel Johnson, T. S. Eliot, and William
Empson. Finally, we will read later
nineteenth- and twentieth-century poetry
that challenges or engages Milton's great
poems. But the course will provide more
than an overview of Milton in the last
four hundred years: it will also attest to
Milton's continuing vitality as a poetic
(and perhaps even as a political) figure.
Prerequisites: Completion of a 200-level
literature course with a grade C or
better. SPECIAL NOTE: This course can be
taken either as an English elective or as
a seminar. Those taking the course as a
seminar will have additional requirements
appropriate to a course at a higher level.
Permission of the instructor is also
necessary to take the course as a seminar.

ENGL 364 Perspectives on Women in Literature Images 3 credits
of Joan of Arc
Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD
GEP:Meets WI and AH. GFR:Meets AH. From
the moment she left her home in Domremy to
seek her king up to the present day, Joan
of Arc has challenged, inspired, and
ultimately resisted attempts to
characterize her according to accepted
norms of gender, class, education,
sexuality, or religion. This course offers
a cross-disciplinary examination of her
life and afterlife, emphasizing how
creative writers, historians, visual
artists, filmmakers and musicians remake
her image in keeping with socio-political,
cultural, and religious values of the age.
Likely materials include Christine de
Pisan, Shakespeare, Michelet, Twain, Shaw,
Dreyer, Gage, Einhorn, and others.
Prerequisite: Completion of a 200-level
literature course with a grade of "C" or

ENGL 387 Web Design and Multimedia Authoring 3 credits
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD THIS COURSE IS
PERMISSION REQUIRED. This course will give
students a foundation in the production
and analysis of digital texts. Like other
kinds of texts, digital texts require the
exercise of language: in this case, the
"languages" of code and image. We will
thus learn to use Hypertext Markup
Language (XHTML) and Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS) - the code basis of web texts
- in order to gain a thorough
understanding of digital writing. We will
also learn to "read" digital texts in
their many incarnations - web texts,
hypertexts, and interactive media (CD/DVD)
texts. We will learn the complexities of
digital narrative and design, and learn
how to compose creative and critical texts
in our new medium. Prerequisites: ENGL 100
and a 200-level English course with grades
of "C" or better and permission of the
instructor: burgess@umbc.edu

Discourses of Happiness
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD THIS COURSE IS
PERMISSION REQUIRED. In this course we
will examine the concept of happiness from
three perspectives: philosophic,
psychologic, and literary. We will ask how
happiness has been defined in these
traditions and how practitioners in each
believe it can be achieved. Throughout the
semester students will work to develop
their own theories of happiness. Among the
philosophers we may read are Plato,
Aristotle, Epictetus, and Dewey.
Psychologists may include Argyle, Nettle,
Haidt, and Frankl. Works of literature may
include pieces by Alice Walker, Camus,
W.E.B. Du Bois, Tolstoy, and Willa Cather.
Prerequisites: ENGL 301 with a grade of

Melville and American Democracy
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD THIS COURSE IS
PERMISSION REQUIRED. One of the most
influential writers and pivotal in the
formation of an American literary canon,
Herman Melville was not so well known in
his time. Initially well-received for his
adventure stories, after the publication
of Moby-Dick the popular presses labeled
him "insane," or the "man who lived among
the cannibals." Although Melville did not
engage directly in popular reforms of the
day, his writings reflect a unique
perspective on questions about the
constitution of the first modern
democratic republic, as well as how
matters of manifest destiny and expansion,
religion, class, race, and slavery affect
the meaning of democratic communities in
the United States. This course will
investigate the place of Melville in the
American canon. We will focus on the
development of his writing and perspective
on the possibilities and problems with the
nature of American democracy. Works to be
studied include Typee, Moby-Dick, Pierre;
or the Ambiguities, Benito Cereno, The
Confidence Man, Billy Budd, and selected
stories and poems. Prerequisites: ENGL 301
with a grade of "C" or better, senior
standing, and permission of the
instructor: clstewar@umbc.edu.

Democracy, Rhetoric and Technology
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD THIS COURSE IS
PERMISSION REQUIRED. This course examines
the ways in which U.S. politics, in both
its language and practices, have changed
because of digital technology. Through
everything from the World Wide Web to
electronic voting machines, the rhetoric
of politics, access to information, and
civic life have evolved in new and
interesting ways. We will examine the 2008
presidential elections in light of this
evolution and analyze the intersection
between democracy, rhetoric, and
technology at the height of the U.S.
democratic process. Prerequisites: ENGL
301 with a grade of "C" or better, senior
standing, and permission of the
