ENG 120-04 - Literary Analysis

4 credits (Fall)

In this course devoted to critical reading, writing, and thinking, students will read literary works in a number of genres while developing their skills of critical analysis. We will start by looking at critical and theoretical approaches to a single novel (Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights) and then turn to short fiction, drama (a play by Shakespeare), and poetry, building on what we have learned while focusing on genre-specific vocabulary and strategies of interpretation. Graded assignments will include short writing assignments and three papers.

Prerequisite: None.
