This class is a survey of Gothic literature. Gothic literature is named for the Gothic cathedrals and architecture of the time and settings of the stories. Students will read excerpts and full stories from Gothic literature and learn the history and stories behind the fiction. Students will learn how to identify Gothic stories by the plot devices and settings used, such as the decaying old castle or house, the adjacent graveyard, or decaying family crypt. We will look at the lives of Gothic authors Edgar Allan Poe, John William Polidori, Mary Shelley, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Elizabeth Gaskell, Bram Stoker, and Anne Radcliffe among others to determine if their life and times or their environment had any influence on their haunting writings. Works included for the class to be read in the week in between classes: "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe (introduction into the Gothic Literature Genre) "The Vampyre" by John William Polidori (written alongside Mary Shelley when she wrote Frankenstein) (We will look into the workings of the vampire) "Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne (A descendant of one of the judges of the Salem Witch Trials!) (This is our story to introduce us to witches) "The Old Nurse's Story" by Elizabeth Gaskell (Our ghost story written on the invitation of Charles Dickens.)
Otros detalles
Orientación para padres
There is mild violence (monsters, ghosts, blood, and vampires!) This class is a "Book Club" style class, which means I give a lot of background information and the learner is encouraged (but not required) to discuss their interpretation of the material. This is a reading and discussion class.
Lista de útiles escolares
To prepare for the first class read "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe which is attached and accessible upon enrollment. The poem is relatively short and can be easily printed. Look for elements in the poem that build dread and suspense. Copies of the Gothic literature stories to be read during the week between class discussions will be provided after class each week to be read for the following week. I personally read "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe the first class meeting.
