English 641: The Nineteenth-Century Gothic Summer 2007: Online!
Feel like there’s a monster on your chest? Do you have other things you need to do this summer? It’s okay! This online course will allow you to work on your master’s degree from any location with internet access. English 641 will cover the dramatic development of the gothic in the long nineteenth century, beginning with Horace Walpole’s classic The Castle of Otranto and concluding with Bram Stoker’s infamous Dracula. Over seven weeks (June 18-August 3), students will develop their understanding of the gothic through an intensive reading program that will include current critical perspectives about our primary texts. Each week, students will participate in online discussion groups and post assignments to the class Blackboard site, and, by the end of the course, students will submit a substantial research project on a topic of their design. Primary Texts: Walpole, The Castle of Otranto Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho Polidori, The Vampyre Coleridge, Cristabel Austen, Northanger Abbey Shelley, Frankenstein Ruskin, from The Stones of Venice Collins, The Woman in White LeFanu, Carmilla Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray Stoker, Dracula Contact Dr. Esther Godfrey for more information: godfreyel@longwood.edu 434-395-2162
