	The birth of Finnish literature — Virtual Finland
		A considerable part of the literature current in medieval Finland has been preserved because of this - in the form of torn fragments of separate pages it is true.
		In Finland Swedish was also used as the language of government, but since the majority of the population had Finnish as their mother tongue, literature intended for popular use was also published in Finnish.
		The early period of Finnish literature, which began with the publication of the Missale Aboense in 1488, ended in 1642.

		Or it could be viewed as a course designed to illustrate the sweep of American literature: those characteristic features and persistent concerns that have defined the tradition from the colonial period to the contemporary period.
		The literature and art emerging from this period have come to be termed "modernist." Although we will begin with a working definition of "modernism," one of the tasks of the course will be to refine and redefine our sense of the term with each new text we read.
		Questions of narrative, of the relations between politics and literature, and of the representation of sexuality are constant concerns of the course.

	The Power of the Passive Self in English Literature, 1640-1770
		This tradition - which Scott Paul Gordon locates in seventeenth-century religious discourse, in early eighteenth-century moral philosophy, in mid eighteenth-century acting theory, and in the emergent novel - resists autonomy and defers agency from the individual to an external ‘prompter’.
		Gordon argues that the trope of passivity aims to guarantee a disinterested self in a culture that was increasingly convinced that every deliberate action involves calculating one’s own interest.
		Gordon traces the origins of such ideas from their roots in the non-conformist religious tradition to their flowering in one of the central texts of eighteenth-century literature, Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa.

	Review of Conduct Literature for Women 1640-1710 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The selection of texts that St. Clair and Maassen have chosen to include in Conduct Literature for Women 1640-1710 (which is Part II of the series Conduct Literature for Women from Pickering & Chatto) is diverse.
		In some cases this may be the result of a text that is blurred, while in others it may be, as St. Clair and Maassen explain in their “Note on Copy Texts,” the consequence of the “inevitable” “bending of the facsimile texts” in an attempt “to preserve the bindings of the originals.”
		On the whole, however, this is an excellent resource for scholars interested in conduct literature, as well as for those scholars who wish to gain access to learned information about the literature in order to further their own research in the period.

		Students are required to prepare carefully each of the reading assignments and demonstrate that preparation in class discussion.

	Conduct Literature for Women series published by Pickering & Chatto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The series lays the textual groundwork for future research into the impact of conduct literature on the development of fictional literature, and enables scholars to assess the historical interrelations of gender ideologies with other types of discourses, whether political or religious, literary or scientific.
		Conduct literature aims at defining and prescribing the relative roles and duties of men and women in different ranks of life.
		Covering polite manners and pious morals, household management and advice on what to read, proffering directions on children’s education and the treatment of servants, dealing with fashion and leisure as well as with religious devotions and sexual conduct, conduct books at once reflect and produce ideological inscriptions of gendered subjectivity.

		Based in Enlightenment ideas, the literature of this course explores large questions, like "what is truth?" "what is virtue?" and "what is order?" From kings to milkmaids, God to slaves, the literature reflects and participates in the changing dynamics of emerging modernity.
		With a self-consciousness that anticipates the post-modern aesthetic, Restoration and eighteenth-century authors are also interested in what makes good literature, a question that likewise concerns us as students of literature.
		Students should be prepared for extensive use of computers; I recommend that students new to the internet visit the library for instruction and to acquire their free computer accounts.
