Text Code AM123

【Course Objectives】

Through a close reading of literary texts, students in this course will improve their skills to read literary texts accurately as well as to analyze them.

【Course Contents】

Every human being, whether a student or worker, probably has chanted "I would prefer not to" at least once in their mind.
Though Herman Melville (1819-91) may be known as an author of the famous full-length novel, Moby-Dick (1851), yet he also wrote many compelling short stories and novellas in the 1850s. The phrase cited above is from one of Melville's novella in that period. His short stories and novellas are as insightful and fertile as his full-length novels. In this course, we will go into Melville's literary world through a close reading of his short story and novella. We will closely read two of Melville's works: "Bartleby" (1853), which has become a milestone of absurdist literature, and "The Piazza" (1856), which curries short but beautiful poetic language and is rich in imagery and themes. Through reading the works, we will examine characteristics of Melville's style.
Students will improve their ability to read the texts with paying attention to the themes, structure, style, motifs, and rhetoric.
