Down to the time of Revolutions in America and in France at the end of the 18th century Kings (Queens and Consorts) enjoyed extraordinary power across and beyond Europe. Louis XIV of France famously equated himself with the state—“L’état, c’est moi”—but that was a modest claim. He was also identified with the Sun—as “Le roi soleil”—and he, like the English Elizabeth of Shakespeare’s time, ruled “by the Grace of God.” No public opinion polls, no elections. Generally speaking, they reigned until they died. They were not subject to the Law; their word was Law. But they were not infallible. . . .and they certainly were not invulnerable. This then is the paradox of royal power: the Monarch is divine but also human, all-powerful and powerless to deter mortality, madness, ridicule-- “ for within the hollow crown/That rounds the mortal temples of a king/Keeps death his court; and there the antic sits,/Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp (Richard II, III ii 160-163).

We will study five of the major Shakespearian plays that turn on the mystery (and the history) of kingship—that is, 4 Kings and one Emperor, all of whom merit special attention in our time. Lecture, discussion, short essays written in and out of class.

Detective Fiction is one of the most popular types of genre fiction; at the same time, since its invention in the mid-19th century by Edgar Allan Poe, it has proven itself capable of combining entertainment with sharp-edged social commentary and critique as well as profound philosophical insights about language and representation. Created by Poe and perfected by Conan Doyle, detective fiction popularizes the modern scientific outlook (forensic science and the hypothetical–deductive method). The “clue puzzle” structure engages the reader’s own powers of detection and ratiocination, inviting the reader to emulate the detective and perform the same activities of mental reasoning. At the same time, detective fiction is also about the relationship between state authority and justice. In classic detective fiction, crime is a transgression of the norms of an essentially just system; the hard-boiled variety of detective fiction was born in the 1920s in the U.S. as disillusionment set in about the equation between justice and the state. The tough, disillusioned U.S. hardboiled detective who takes the law into his own hands and who uncovers crimes within the (corrupt) state (rather than outside the domain of law and order) in turn has inspired the creation of minority detectives—gumshoes of color. Chester Himes’ Cotton Comes to Harlem, for example, traces black-on-black crime in Harlem to structural racism. Finally, postmodern anti-detective fiction, invented by Jorge Luis Borges and perfected by Paul Auster, parodies the rationalist conventions of classic detective fiction, turning the machinery of retrospective clue puzzling inside-out. This course will survey the above-mentioned landmarks of the genre’s development from Poe to the present, as well as more recent Chicana (Corpi) and Cuban (Padura Fuentes) incarnations that use the detective genre to explore U.S. minority history and to memorialize an American cult figure abroad (Hemingway in Cuba). The course overall goal is to demonstrate how far one single genre defined by four ingredients (a mystery, a detective, an investigation, plus the “puzzle element”) can be stretched and how much ground it can cover—while never ceasing to provide fun entertainment!

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, A Study in Scarlet (Dover Thrift Edition);Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep (Random House/Vintage 1992);Chester Himes, Cotton Comes to Harlem (Random House/Vintage 1988);Lucha Corpi, Cactus Blood (Arte Público Press 2009);Paul Auster, City of Glass (Penguin 1987);Roberto Bolaño, Distant Star (New Directions 1996)

In January 1938 Benny Goodman brought jazz to Carnegie Hall; later that summer the great Hank Greenberg hit 58 homeruns for the Detroit Tigers, just two behind Babe Ruth. In 1945 Bess Myerson, a Jewish girl from the Bronx, became Miss America. Saul Bellow’s Adventures of Augie March won the National Book Award in 1954; in 1953 Bellow’s translation from the Yiddish of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s “Gimpel the Fool” appeared in The Partisan Review. The Magic Barrel (short stories) by Bernard Malamud won the National Book Award in 1959; Philip Roth’s Goodbye Columbus (also stories) won the next year. In 1964 Fiddler on the Roof, a musical drama based on the Yiddish stories of Sholom Aleichem, would begin an extraordinary run that hasn’t ever stopped. In the 1970s Bellow (1976) and Singer (1978) would both win Nobel Prizes; Woody Allen’s film Annie Hall beat back Star Wars at the 50th Academy Awards in 1978. Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, the Coen Brothers. In 1992 Art Spiegelman’s Maus was the first graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize, a year later Steven Spielberg, Schindler’s List took down most of the Oscars.

It would appear that after the rigors of immigration American Jews had finally—in the metaphoric sense—“arrived” in the new world.   The enormous success of several generations of Jewish writers, comedians, musicians, musical comedians and movie makers in the post-War period would seem to confirm that sense of cultural integration. But it is precisely the persistence of old—that is, old-world—obsessions that would be the signature of this apparent success and the binding agent of this course. How are we to account for the continuity, for the persistence of tradition on the part of several generations of artists who would seem to have emancipated themselves from the very conditions that they seem compelled to replicate? These are the kind of questions we will ask as we read, listen and watch our way through the Post-War literature and culture of Jewish America. Lecture, discussion, short essays.

Virginia Woolf’s feminist treatise on women and writing appeared in 1929 and would later influence the development of feminist literary criticism during the Second Wave of the Women’s Movement in the 1960s and 70s. In this course we will return to Woolf’s text and consider it in relation to the historical situation of women in Britain in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, paying attention to such issues as the struggle for women’s suffrage, the impact of the First World War, and the breakdown of the British Empire. We will begin the course with a classic Victorian novel: Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte and then read short stories by Woolf’s contemporary, Katherine Mansfield, before delving into the complexities of Woolf’s powerful, experimental modernist novel: To the Lighthouse. We then will take up Woolf’s predictions about what kind of fiction women will write in the future and read a post-modernist novel, Wide Sargasso Sea, by Jean Rhys, and two novels that were published at the beginning of the twenty-first century: Brick Lane, by Monica Ali, and On Beauty, by Zadie Smith.
