In this course, students will examine a literary theme proposed by faculty. Exploration of the texts and their contexts allow students to build a theoretical foundation for the interpretation of literature, including meaning, form, voice and tone, character, and the uses and meanings of language. Students will apply critical context(s) and practice various literary theoretical approaches to readings. Students will also evaluate texts through modern lenses and recent scholarship. Students are encouraged to bring their own learned experience to literary analysis and develop critical thinking through discussion and written articulation of ideas.
Prerequisite: ENGL110M or ENGL110X. (Fulfills English or Humanities requirement.)
