1. Jane Austen and the Poets
Jane Austen relished contemporary verse as did her readers. Studying her perfectly structured novels together with, for example, Alexander Pope’s satiric epistles; Anne Finch’s complex and witty odes; James Thomson’s sublime neo-georgics; Samuel Johnson’s monumental imitations of Juvenal; William Cowper’s rambling loco-descriptive meditations; Samuel Coleridge’s delicate blank-verse ruminations on nature, spirit, and domestic tranquility; George Crabbe’s biting couplets about miserable village life, and many others, shall enrich our appreciation of the atmosphere in which Austen cultivated her sensibility, anticipated the taste and moral tenor of her readers, and exercised artistic control. We will read at least three of her novels —Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Persuasion—alongside the poets she and her readers loved and whose poems they enjoyed hearing recited by characters in her novels. Our poets include the above mentioned, in addition to Robert Lloyd, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Ann Yearsley, Charlotte Smith, William Wordsworth, among others.

Columbia University Directory of ClassesSearch2. Fictions of Judgment: Austen and Kleist
This course investigates how works of fiction reflect on what it means to make moral, aesthetic, and political judgments. It focuses on works by two Romantic-era authors, Jane Austen (1775-1817) and Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811), who were contemporaries of one another but have rarely been read together as they inhabited and wrote about vastly different milieux. Strikingly, both have been hailed for their precise mastery of language and form, their keen sense of irony, and their singularly philosophical dispositions. They wrote at a crucial time in both Western and global modernity when European philosophers were re-defining the very activity of judgment itself in relation to new understandings of reason, truth, and the conditions of knowledge. We will read three of Austen’s six completed novels and a play, short stories, a novella, and prose writings by Kleist, paying attention to philosophical problems of self-knowledge, judgment, freedom, and autonomy in relation to historical instantiations of gender, class, and race. Besides studying how these early nineteenth-century works staged processes and crises of judgment, we will ask ourselves what lessons in judgment these works may continue to offer us today.
Ah, another fragile soul who thinks she is being oppressed when others express opinions. "Waaaah, a professor expressed an opinion." Seems like she is a pretty good example of what she is fundamentally complaining about.Now the left will have to cancel her.

Some of us warned you. Many of you laughed, called us crazy and thought it was fear mongering.
Put this on for size, these kids will be running the country in 10-15 years. What do you think they plan to do when they are in powerful positions? How much sympathy will they have for the older generation?
