The objectives of this course are: (1) to describe the methods and means of critically interpreting the Western novel, (2) to compare and contrast history and fiction, and (3) to guide the student through the basics of writing a coherent literary analysis.
"Your ideas are terrifying and your hearts are faint. Your acts of pity and cruelty are absurd, committed with no calm, as if they were irresistible. Finally, you fear blood more and more. Blood and time."
-- Paul Valéry
In these terms, the broken and forsaken narrative of Cormac McCarthy's 1985 novel, Blood Meridian, or The Evening Redness in the West, begins to tell its terrible tale. Through an analysis of McCarthy's fictional "West", this course will trace the acts and philosophies of violence that continue to define the culture and history of America.
