Course Description
This course examines ideas about seduction, sexuality and race, in early modern poetry, drama, and prose. The first half explores texts that grapple with race and ethnic identity in William Shakespeare’s OTHELLO; Toni Morrison and Rokia Traoré’s DESDEMONA; Keith Hamilton Cobb’s AMERICAN MOOR; and Aphra Behn’s OROONOKO. The second half explores three great poetic sequences of seduction: William Shakespeare’s VENUS AND ADONIS, Christopher Marlowe’s HERO LEANDER, and Mary Wroth’s PAMPHILIA TO AMPHILANTHUS. Debates about erotic versus chaste love, heteronormativity and queerness, will be the focus. The course introduces students to current critical theories of gender, sexuality, and race. It will also attend to questions around literary genre: poetic form (erotic epyllion, sonnet sequence), drama (masque, tragedy), and the emerging novel.

Course Description
This course is primarily a study of the tactics and technology of European warfare on land and sea during an epoch of religious wars, unprecedented diplomatic realignments, rising and failing states, a "general crisis," and external Ottoman pressure. Through discussion, presentation and self-directed learning, with an emphasis on contemporary texts, the course progresses thematically through such themes as state policy and grand strategy, tactical changes as a response to gunpowder weaponry, the (in)decisiveness of battle, "heroism" versus "technique" in the Vaubanian siege, maneuver, logistics and "contributions," the impact of war on civilians, moral contexts: the "laws of war" and the "law of nations," women in the world of camp and train, recruitment and promotion, officers and men, and the intellectual inheritance of classical Greece and Rome.

This seminar is an introduction to African writing. The course focuses on writing from Africa but includes reference to some texts written about Africa by non-Africans to demonstrate the contrast in style, context, and representation. The main texts are from Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Kenya.

Course Description
This course studies King Arthur, the legends surrounding him beginning from medieval times throughout Western Europe, and his origin as a Welsh folk hero. The course traces the earliest development of the Arthurian legend from its Welsh beginnings, and looks at the earliest sources to bear witness to Arthur (from Wales in the 9th to the 11th centuries). The course considers how this hero from a far Western European culture became famous throughout the world. The Celtic origin of the theme of the Holy Grail is examined as well as the way it became represented and later adapted in literature and culture. The Welsh origin of the character of Merlin the magician is also studied and original sources in translation form the basis of the study of all these themes.
