Subject matter, theme, form and technique of

In this course we will study prose written in
nineteenth-century America. To make our literary
journey more exciting, we will particularly focus on
texts that contain “mysterious and monstrous” elements
which include not only mysteries, ghosts, and the
supernatural but also monstrosities found in human
existence and society. We will examine their writings
in an attempt to understand the period’s significant
literary movements (i.e. Romanticism, Realism, and
Naturalism) and their unique writing style. The texts
will also open up our discussion of various issues
relevant to our lives in modern society; for example,
the complexity of the human psyche, human
relationships, identity, race, gender, class,
morality, and social problems.
Reading List: 
- Herman Melville,
Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life (1846)

British Fiction from the
Twentieth Century to the Present
BRIT FICT 20C-PRES
Coordinator/instructor: Puckpan
TTh 2:30–4:00
Subject matter, theme, form and technique of British
fiction from the twentieth century to the present;
analysis and criticism of selected works
British fiction from the twentieth century to the
present has experienced great upheavals and produced
wide-ranging impact. Ideas about fictional forms,
authorship, readership and Britishness are defined,
redefined and questioned. The resulting literature
traveled far and wide, jump-starting the modern
literary scene in many countries including Thailand.
We will examine a range of fiction and discuss the
issues it raises about literary craft, production and
media, values and context, scholarship and new
directions. We will read both well-known and lesser
known authors whose work and ideas have influenced,
defined and interrogated British fiction such as
Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad, George Orwell, Agatha
Christie, Virginia Woolf, Muriel Spark, Salman
Rushdie, Timothy Mo, A. S. Byatt, Julian Barnes, and
Aminatta Forna.
