This is a really fun class. Granted, it's hard to get into especially if you're an English major, and if you're an English major you'd have to take it anyway. But the lectures are well-prepared, with witty as well as meaty content. Both professors are very easy-going and intelligent, making the class very insightful overall. I enjoyed this class thoroughly - one of my favorite English classes of all time.
The lectures are well given and clever. The readings are interesting. The only annoying part is having discussion two days a week (yawn), but not bad if you get a good discussion leader (I totally recommend Elizabeth Anker). My first of the 300 level Engl series and I had way too much fun for a required survey course.
This class is PHENOMENAL. I'm not an English major and I've only taken one other English class but EVERYONE at UVA ought to take it. Cushman and Levenson are two of the brightest, funniest, coolest teachers at the University. The books you read are great--they are all famous ones that you ought to read anyway, and the lectures are so interesting and so much fun. Far and away one of the top three classes I've taken here--sign up quick!
The two discussion sections a week is definitely obnoxious (though inherently part of the 380 series, take it with Jason, he's hysterical and insightful and really encourages some worthwhile discussion), but Cushman and Levenson are just unbelievable. The readings are amazing. It's really that simple. A must-take class at U.Va.
