Ballads are the principal mediaeval literature in the vernacular.
The language and forms of baroque literature are characterised by impressive rhetorical inventiveness and power, and they reveal an appetite for life that measures up to its stark celebration of the inconstancy of fortune and the certainty of death.

Lecture: "Oral tradition is the foundation of literature," according to N. Scott Momaday, and recently writers as diverse as Hurston, Maxine Hong Kingston, Leslie Marmon Silko and others have returned to oral traditions as an structure, thematic, or discursive strategy upon which to build written texts.
Discussion: Among the topics for discussion this unit raises includes the role of the expatriate writer in defining American traditions in literature (both Ashbery and Bishop lived abroad for extended periods of time), the balance between innovation and tradition in style and subject matter, and the role of the poet in contemporary American culture.

This will entail a consideration of questions of literary form and content, specific constitutional and legal matters, and social and psychic organization, as well as issues of national identity and nation formation, personal subjectivity, gender, and race.
This is a new course and still evolving, especially in its attempt to bring together two general subject areas that are usually considered apart: eighteenth-century literature and modern legal experience and jurisprudential theory.
The general subject of “law and literature” is also a new interdisciplinary field and there is as yet no settled canon of theoretical or practical texts, no uncontested paradigms or procedures, and no unquestioned list of priorities.

 Metaphysics and Melancholy: Philosophy/Literature 1689-1764: 3MA
This course aims to extend students' knowledge of the relationship between philosophy and literature in Britain through a close examination of how these two disciplines influence each other during the last decade of the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century.
One of the principal themes of the course will be the way in which empiricism fostered a culture of subjectivity which, while encouraging a heightened emphasis on imagination in literature, in many ways proves to be self-undermining.
At the same time attention will focus on the way in which the apparently subversive and revolutionary implications of Locke's philosophy of matter and sensation came to find a home in Burke's conservative aesthetic, leaving the Romantics to tease out the political contradictions of eighteenth-century empiricism.

To illustrate the method, we apply it to the well-studied cluster Abell 1689 (z=0.184).
We compare these results to other weak lensing analyses of Abell 1689 from the literature and find good agreements in terms of the shear measurement as well as the final mass estimate.
