Though sometimes called the age of reason and the age of Johnson, the eighteenth century might more aptly be described as the age of satire, the age of wit, or even the age of the outlandish. This course examines some of the most rollicking, rambunctious novels of the period. In addition to focusing on the way authors like Henry Fielding and Laurence Sterne used humor in their novels to skewer the follies, vices and pretensions of their society, some of the recent films based on these novels will be viewed. The course also discusses the ways the respective writers/directors presented their own modern visions of this exuberant time. Readings include Henry Fielding, Tom Jones, Laurence Sterne, Tristram Shandy, Rudolf Erich Raspe, The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Maria Edgeworth, Castle Rackrent; films include Tom Jones (Richardson, 1963), A Cock and Bull Story (Winterbottom, 2006), The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (Gilliam, 1988).
