【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 contexts.

【Course Contents】

 In this seminar, we will read Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852). This is a must-read classic for understanding antebellum America, but it is also a work that is rarely read in its entirety for its length. Reading this book will help us better understand not only the discourse of slavery at the time but also the genre of sentimental fiction. In this seminar, we will also reexamine the aesthetic, cultural, and historical values of this classic novel by putting it in conversation with the current critical climate, nearly forty years after Jane Tompkins reappraised the novel in Sensational Designs.
 In addition to Stowe's text, we will also read the criticism of this work and debate practical issues such as what an academic essay is and how it should be written.
