Professor Robert Goldberg

Fall 2011
 

NOTE: Fall semester will officially begin on August 31.

If you're looking for an excellent and fun, exciting, "out-of-this-world" online 2000-level literature class, check out my EGL2430: Survey of Science Fiction Literature class.

•   Dream of soaring through spacing and exploring the stars?

•   Want to travel back in time to see what “really” happened?

•   Have a vision of what the future will be like?

•   Ever ask yourself, “What if?”

In EGL2430, we will discuss a variety of science fiction literature, primarily in print, including short stories and novels, looking at space travel, time travel, alien encounters, robot stories, and more. We will discuss the purpose and function of this literature. We will also consider, to a degree, fantasy literature (and science fiction as a form of fantasy) and the mythology behind some of the science fiction.

I will consider Honors Contracts!

Early British literature, from the Anglo-Saxon period (especially Beowulf) through the Middle English period (especially Chaucer), is my main field of expertise. I will, therefore, provide you with an excellent introduction to this most important period of British (and, yes, American) literature.
