ENGLISH 250 -- Literature of
the American Woman -- Ellen
O'Brien
The literary work as a re
sponse to and an expression of
the situation of women in
America will be examined
through a reading of Emily
Dickinson, Sarah Orne Jewett,
Kate Chopin, Edith Wharton,
Henry James, Nathaniel Haw
thorne and others. Our study
will focus on both the themes
and problems which these wri
ters perceive in the "Woman
Question" and on the possibili
ties for literature which grow
out of these perceptions. In
short, we will be probing the
intersection of art with the
moral, the political, and ther
social. Humanities credit.
ENGLISH 250 -- The Child in
Literature: Innocence and Ex
perience Jane Bengel
Before the nineteenth centu
ry, children rarely appear in
English and American literature
in anything more than periphe
ral and fleeting roles, with one
important exception William
Blake's Songs and Innocence
and Experience. For Blake and
other "romantics" in both En
gland and America the child
represents either transcendent
good or diabolical evil. "Rea
lists," on the other hand, have
tended to make the child either
a clever rogue, superior in
native intelligence to the bum
bling and short-sighted adults
which people his world, or a
victim of adult ignorance and
insensitivity. This course will
explore these four basic, and
often over-lapping, literary
Guilfordian
images of the child in a number
of poems, short stories, and
novels.
HISTORY 150 -- World Civiliza
tion Martha H. Cooley
A global approach to world

Desert, since 1800. These forces
are: (1) The arrival of Eurasian
and African reaction; (2) The
slave trade and its impact on
African development; (3) The
scramble and partitioning of
Africa; (4) The different sys
tems of colonial administration;
(5) African nationalism and the
struggle for independence; and
(6) The independent African
countries and international poli
tics.
HISTORY 250 - Modern East
Asia - Dorothy Borei
The Chinese, last year our
unrecognized enemies, are now
our friends. The Japanese, de
vastated by American bombing
in 1945, now outrank us in
international trade. To under
stand why and how these dra
matic shifts have occurred,
enroll in History 250. The
course covers East Asia's re
sponse to Western imperialism
in the 19th century, war and
revolution in the early 20th
century, as well as postwar
political and socio-economic de
velopments.

ican Fiction -- Maritza Almeida

RELIGION 250 -- Islam --
Joseph Groves
An acquaintance with Islam is

the Middle East. Islam is the

world and the cultural as well as
religious basis for 95% of the
Arabs and other peoples living
in that sensitive area. Three
topics will be given special
emphasis in the course: 1) the
history of Islam, including the
life of Mohammed: 2) the
beliefs and the practice of
Islam, including the teachings
of the Koran and the five pillars
of faith; 3) Islam and the
modern world, including an
examination of such contempo
rary expressions of faith as the
Sufi way, the Black Muslims,
and Shi 'ite Islam, as well as the
study of Islamic contributions to
art, architecture, and science.
