We're beginning this week with a range of genry theory written by the Russian Formalists, then turning our attention on Thursday to Uncle Tom's Cabin, a 19th century American novel that differs strikingly from the one we've just finshed.

Come to class on Tuesday ready to put "your" theorist into play with those others will be reading...and talk outloud here about what you noticed as you did so, and/or as you encounter the sentimental fiction of Harriet Beecher Stowe for the first time.
