Description
Not Even Past: A History of the Department of English, The Ohio State University, 1870-2000 provides a thorough and fascinating institutional history of a program central to the mission of the university and a history of an entire complex discipline. OSU's Department of English is one of the largest and most prominent in the US and, in fact, the world. Inevitably, then, a study of that department entails an account of the role of English and American literature in higher education from the nineteenth century to modern and contemporary times; an exploration of the expanding role of the modern "English" department and discipline; the role--or, at times, the lack of a significant role--of women and minorities within the department; and the careers and accomplishments of numerous prominent critics, scholars, and creative writers--including, for example, James Thurber and his work with a number of OSU faculty. Due attention is paid to the controversies and troubles of the late 1960s and the shutdown of the university in 1970. In addition to the two major authors, ten experts provide extended sections on the history of their own fields. The result is both comprehensive and deeply felt.
