The seminar is scheduled to begin during the summer of 1996 and to run regularly for an indefinite period.
- ENEC981: The Novel of Sensibility This is a graduate course studying the cultural and aesthetic formations of sensibility and sentimentality in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as expressed through key fictional works of the period. Instructors are Jerome McGann and Patricia Spacks.
- ENNC491 Incarnate Textualities: Blake, Dickinson, D. G. Rossetti This course studies three different ways of elaborating a material and embodied corpus of writing. In all three cases, issues of immediacy and embodiment dictate the writers' attitude toward their work, and stimulate them to radical acts of poetic invention.

This is a graduate course that studies the pictorial and written works of the chief figures of the pivotal Pre-Raphaelite Movement in England.
This is a undergraduate seminar run by Professor Polley McClure. Various other professors and staff contribute to the course. McGann's contribution is to the topic Restructuring Education
ENLT201 is designed to develop basic critical skills for reading and studying literary works. This goal will involve some thoughtful engagement with language as such, and in particular with literary language (which takes a number of special forms); with the status of documents, texts, and their transmission; with the cultural and historical contexts that intersect the primary works, not least of all our immediate (ca. 1998) cultural/historical context(s); and with the ongoing discussions, public and often professional, that these primary works have generated in the way of general literary theory, or commentaries and interpretations that are more specifically directed. In short, you will be reading and writing about both primary and secondary works of literature.
This course is an introduction to certain literary works, sacred and profane, that operate at the limits of language -- that try to express matters that in certain ways lie beyond the limits of expressibility.
