Credit: 3 hours Section Title: British Espioinage Fiction Section Info: Topic Section CH1: British Espionage Fiction from Conrad to 007 Section CH1 is for Chancellor's Scholars; others may only enroll with consent of instructor and director of the Campus Honors Program. As the twentieth century dawned and Britain?s Empire foundered, some of the most thoughtful English novelists began to write about spies and terrorists. While lesser-known figures like GK Chesterton tried their hand at writing about espionage, some of the finest and most provocative novels of the genre were written in the first decade of the twentieth century by Joseph Conrad. Tracing a literary history that begins with Conrad?s The Secret Agent and Under Western Eyes as well as Chesterton?s The Man Who was Thursday, this course will chart the ways that the collapse of Empire and the two World Wars prepared the way for the cold war era espionage fiction penned by Ian Fleming, Graham Greene, and John Le Carr�. By reading several of Fleming?s Bond novels (Casino Royale, From Russia With Love), Greene?s serious spy fiction (The Quiet American, The Human Factor) as well as his more ironic effort (Our Man in Havana), Le Carr� existential, haunting Smiley Trilogy (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley?s People), and Ian McEwan?s recent foray into the genre (Sweet Tooth) we?ll see not only how Conrad?s novels predicted the decline of British power but also how his concerns about agency, subjective choice, and Western Imperialism weighed on the spy novels produced in the shadow of cold war ideology. We?ll also view several British Spy films in order to get a sense of how the genre evolved over the course of the last century. Restriction(s): Restricted to Chancellor's Scholar-CHPHonors students.
