This course introduces the Gothic genre and modern descendants. We'll explore theories about how literature confronts the horrific or overwhelming. Influential works (The Castle of Otranto, Dracula) and a few popular films (28 Days Later, Rosemary's Baby) will help us see how monstrous figures can reveal anxieties present in the cultures that created them. ENGL 1220-001 & ENGL 1220-002 From Gothic to Horror * Paul Neimann * ENGL 1220-001: TTH, 8 to 9:15 a.m. and ENGL 1220-002, TTH, 9:30 to 10:45 a.m.
