ENG 120-03 & 04 - Literary Analysis

4 credits (Spring
Students in this section will explore methods of analyzing novels, short fiction, films, and poetry. We will begin by reading short stories of modern cities-the Dublin of James Joyce and the Washington, D.C. of Edward P. Jones-using a range of critical and theoretical approaches. The course will then examine literature that embodies traditionally formal as well as experimental strategies in poetry, film, and other modes. We will discuss the ways authors craft their works, and we will develop strategies for analyzing those choices in academic papers. Graded assignments will include frequent short writing assignments and longer papers. 

Prerequisite: None.
