The Art of the Essay

Catalog description

This course engages students in the deceptively simple question, “What is an essay?” Finding the answer requires a semester long survey to see how writers both past and present have handled this varied and flexible art form. This is a reading-and-writing-intensive course designed to prepare students for future academic work and for an intellectually engaged life beyond college. Required of all students following the “writing Emphasis” in the English major.
