This course takes as its point of departure Twain 's infamous and puzzling comment . Prouds - - Strong track record of funding to support preservation ; responsiveness to the community ; willingness to take risks ; that leaders of the philanthropic community are talking with each other . Education is about how to gather information and do research as well as disseminating information . Striding across the square on the following morning , he had bearded Barrett on his own doorstep . He had pictured the lad standing there , just beyond his partition , among packets of provisions and bundles of dead and dying flowers . Over the course of the semester , we will examine major political and social developments - - the Catholic Emancipation movement of the 1820s , the potato famine of the 1840s , the land wars of the 1870s , the Home Rule movement that began in the 1880s - - alongside the literature that defined the Irish to themselves and to the English . Each , too , was regarded with suspicion for its working assumption that the trivial details , secret passions , and private struggles of everyday life may be the stuff of art , scholarship , and legitimate public interest . well , in which he had a reasonable right to treat folk as he had treated that prying Barrett - - to shut them out completely . " The way cultural institutions participate in the political environment is an important factor , beyond just issues of funding , " he explained . He had seized the cord to darken the window over the seat in which he had found the harp-bag , and was standing with his back well protected in the embrasure , when he thought he saw the tail of a black-and-white check skirt disappear round the corner of the house . He could not have assigned the cause of the fits of quit weeping which took him sometimes ; they came and went , like the fitful illumination of the clouds that travelled over the square ; and perhaps , after all , if he was not happy , he was not unhappy . Sorries : Inflexible guidelines ; insufficient money in the system for operating support ; that grantmaking has n't encouraged enough marketing among institutions so they can sustain themselves beyond the grant period . Taking as our starting point Shelley 's story about a scientist who assembles and animates a monster from pieces of human and animal corpses , we will track the deformed body across a range of nineteenth - and twentieth-century literary and medical texts.Examining the multiple and shifting ways deformity has been narrated over time , we will pay particular attention to moments when the misshapen body becomes the means of articulating transgressive fantasies of culture ; in other words , when twisted bodies give rise to twisted stories . We will focus our attention on some of the major fiction of the period , attending to issues of style and form as well as to how the novel participates in Victorian debates about poverty , sexuality , morality , change , and imperialism . It is all about transcending , rather than getting mired - - about getting beyond , and not bogged down . Baudelaire , Rimbaud , Pater , and Wilde are the patron saints of these familiar narratives , which have over time solidified into virtual truism . The company 's stock rose 6 percent , or $ 1.69 , to $ 30.10 in late morning trading after the verdict.Members of Merck 's legal team , some with tears in their eyes , hugged each other after the New Jersey verdict . The kitchen window had no blind , and was overshadowed by the blank end of the house across the alley . He visited his seldom-used study , and stood for a moment gazing at the silvered roofs across the square . There , another slant of blue moonlight cut the windowsill and law across the pipes on the wall . We will attempt over the course of the term to unravel the complexities of this convergence , asking both why the Romantic era interests the great Victorian novelists and how the writing of these novelists develops Scott 's Romantic aesthetic into a protocol for Victorian realism . Other accounts studiously contain the sprawling and unruly nineteenth century by displacing it : onto France , whose symbolist poets , impressionist painters , and experimental novelists can safely be seen as the respectably subversive ancestors of modernist innovation ; or onto fin-de-siecle British aestheticism , whose decadent writers , painters , and personalities broke with mainstream Victorian culture in ways that enabled modernism to make an even bigger break later on .
