ENG129 - Travelers and Madmen
Travelers are forever abandoning complacent lives in search of experience and adventure. When their quests turn to obsession, however, what begins as a thrilling journey can turn into a nightmarish reality — and madness. This fast-paced course in British and American literature explores the remote and unfamiliar lands that fascinated these seasoned travelers, including those whose late-Victorian imperialistic convictions pushed them to ‘civilize’ countries that had otherwise been culturally and geographically out of reach. We will explore the personal motivations, and the physical, political, and cultural barriers that pit the traveler against his (or her) companions, their family, and ultimately their own psyche as they try to reach such unknown destinations. Warning: danger lies ahead for those who seek what’s over the horizon.
