Section Information for Spring 2021
In “Haunted America” you will listen to the rage-filled screams of ghosts, those once-men-and-women who were ostracized, imprisoned, murdered, entombed, their pain echoing across time. You will breathe in the toxic environs of Edgar Allan Poe’s House of Usher, dwell in madding rooms, and try to find your way through a maze-like mansion. You will swim among water ghosts that wait, eyes wide and hair filled with weeds, to pull under the first living being they can reach and so be born anew. As we explore the Gothic literary tradition, you will learn about the major movements of US literary history, expand your analytical and writing skills, and theorize the possible connections between our present and our literary past. Together we will map, analyze, discuss, question, create, and imitate, in order to, in Poe’s words, “grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowd” upon us.
