ENG 151 (Spring 2020): Reading Literature: Drama, Fiction, and Poetry
In ENG 151, students will read a variety of texts, with emphasis on identifying and understanding the difference between literary genres and forms. Our readings will range from Western canonical authors such Shakespeare, Poe, Dickinson, and Plath, to non-Western authors and texts such as Stephen King’s The Body, Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Refugees, and Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body and Other Parties. Accessible to students from every discipline, this course will cover some historical and cultural contexts of specific texts we read, but the focus of the course will be on the literary artifacts and learning and applying the techniques and tools of literary analysis.
