【Course Objectives】

Students in this course will improve their reading comprehension skills through conducting an intensive reading of an American literary work and build their interpretation with a conscious understanding of the work's background, historical period, and literary context.

【Course Contents】

In this class, we will read Herman Melville’s Pierre (1852). At the time of its publication, this novel was harshly criticized, and one reviewer went so far as to write, "Herman Melville Crazy." However, the novel has now established its place among Melville’s oeuvre and continues to invite critical attention from various perspectives.
In reading this novel, which revolves around complex and strange blood relations, this class will examine the theme of family. Given that the American nation has been understood through the metaphor of the family since its foundation, thinking about the family in this novel means questioning the very formation of the American nation. Since this work encompasses a variety of issues other than the family, such as sentimentalism, race, and gender/sexuality, each student is encouraged to find their own unique reading style that is in keeping with their awareness of the issues raised. We will also examine the position of Pierre in Melville's career by taking into account the fact that this work was written on the heels of his masterpiece, Moby-Dick (1851).
In addition to Melville's text, we will also read the criticism of this work and debate practical issues such as what an academic paper is and how an academic paper should be written.
