ENG 120-01 - Literary Analysis

4 credits (Fall and Spring)

This section of literary analysis will introduce students to critical reading, thinking, and writing in the context of literary works from a number of genres. We will begin by looking at critical and theoretical approaches to a single novel (E. Brontë’s Wuthering Heights) and then turn to short fiction, poetry, and drama (Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night), 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.
Instructor: C. Jacobson
