課程大綱
English and American Literatures and Cultures Faustus and Its Cultural Heritage Fall 2010 Professor Sheng-yen Yu Tue. 4:10-7:00 p.m. Room 716 syyu@ntut.edu.tw office hours: Mon. 3:10-5:00 p.m. and Tue. 2:10-4:00 p.m. Course Objective This course is designed to extend students’ learning in the first year about Greco-Roman mythology and biblical narratives. For this purpose, we will study Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, focusing especially on the theological issues that play a prominent role in the texts. We will investigate the impact of Calvinism and Puritanism on the people and the religious culture in Renaissance England and colonial New England. The choice of the texts is apt for this course mainly because their stories exemplify a continuity of English and American cultural and religious concerns. Students are required to read the course materials carefully before attending each class and be ready to engage actively in class discussion. Every week, four of the students will each do an oral presentation (10 minutes) on the assigned reading material. In addition, there will be a final exam.
