Title: THE PURSUITS OF ENGLISH

Section: 01

Semester: Fall - 2014

Credits: 4

Description:
This course (M 1-3:05; W 1-2:15) is an inquiry into what constitutes literary study: its subject matter and its underlying goals and methods. We study literary texts of various genres and formats, as well as literary criticism and theory; examine and expand their ways of reading, interpreting, responding to, and writing about texts; trace the relation of literary criticism to theory; consider the relation of literary study to issues of political power; discuss how and why mainstream critical approaches change over time; and develop independent habits of thought, research, discussion, and analytic writing that are informed by literary theory and criticism. By the end of the course, you should be able to understand that a single text can and does have multiple meanings depending on the theoretical lens a reader uses.
