This course reads Herman Melville's classic novel, _Moby-Dick_ (1851) in its own literary, historical, and cultural contexts—and from the perspective of our time. Along with considering the novel's engagement with and treatment of slavery, white supremacy, imperialism, masculinity, queer and other sexualities, democracy, demagoguery, and populism, we will also consider it from the critical perspectives provided by environmental and legal humanities. We will proceed through the novel in a deliberate fashion, working chapter-by-chapter, while also drawing on an interdisciplinary range of critical perspectives to read the work.

ENGL37 . Delombard J M 15 Days Ago

Personally, I thought Professor DeLombard was a pleasure to learn from. Think many people are being unfair to her and the quality of the work she presents. Of course, if you're just gonna be on your phone and scroll for the entire period, you're not gonna learn jack all. However, it is lecture and reading heavy, so if that isn't your thing....

Interesting class. Can get boring but do the readings and attend lecture and you will get an A!

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. The professor was extremely condescending and does not care about her students. Lectures were boring and Delombard was unaccessible. TA's really affected grade. Entire grade depends on final essay and even after office hours with my TA, I was given an 86. Entire class was a waste of my time. Lectures don't help. Good luck.

The professor was very dedicated which I appreciated, but you really have to go to all of the lectures and understand the heavy readings to actually learn anything. I wouldn't retake

Her classes are interactive, which was nice, but the material was way too heavy and simply outdated. They did an experiment where the lowest grade you could get was a B- which was nice but dealing with the material was not worth it.
