ENGLISH 107: High Life and Low Life: Polite and Popular Forms of Eighteenth-Century Literature
The relationship between elite and popular forms in the 18th-century literary imagination. How new popular or "low" genres--the criminal biography, travel literature, political tracts, newspapers, cartoons, broadsheets, conduct books and the like--shaped so-called mainstream Augustan literature. Ideological implications of the contemporary imaginative split between "high life" and "low life." Focus is on describing the significance of the high-low dialectic in classic 18th-century literary works, and the underlying system of social, philosophical and ideological relations that gave rise to it by examining literary representations of various subcultures, and exemplary types like the Criminal, the Hack, the Whore, and the Madman.
