Course Description
This course examines the "dark" side of late Victorian and Edwardian literature. It provides an appropriate cultural history for the literature of the fin de siècle, exploring a wide range of topics: fears of over-civilization and diagnoses of neurasthenia in the upper classes, a psychology that divides the mind into upper and lower (primitive) layers, a psychopathology describing deviant sexualities and states of hysteria, the emergence of "the new woman," occultism and spiritualism, drug abuse, fears of contagion and disease, and ideas of apocalypse at the turn of the century. The course moves from cultural symptoms diagnosed by theorists of decline to the solution often proposed by writers concerned with Empire (and, in America, with the Frontier): a masculine regeneration sustained by travel, adventure, and heroic struggle. Debates about "new" and "fallen" women are considered within the context of late Victorian sexual politics. Lectures and seminars also address the interests of the Rhymers' Club, the poetic coevals of the decadent novelists, preoccupied with the "literature of failure."

Course Description
This course introduces students to the basic principles, methods, and techniques of AI to provide the foundations for more advanced courses in this area. It explores the approaches in the field by referring to the wider historical context in which the AI vision was set and will further motivate the content to be taught by presenting existing and potential applications. Topics include first principles, including the role of first-order logic for knowledge representation, computational reasoning and problem solving systems, the use of search as a capability for exploring alternative solutions, and how AI systems use knowledge to plan and learn from first principles. Students develop intelligent systems by assembling capabilities to concrete computational problems; understand the role of knowledge representation, problem solving, and learning in intelligent-system engineering; and appreciate the role of problem solving, in wide applications that require a basic understanding of human intelligence from a computational perspective.
