With modernization theory as an integrating framework (and emphasis on specialization, rationalization, compartmentalization and increased "governmental" contact), seminar will examine literary works from a number of social cultural and intellectual angles. Bibliographies dealing with 19th century literature and intellectual history, science, family history, immigration, popular culture, media, values and non-literary arts will be consulted.
