ENG 310/01 Intro to Theory/Criticism This course will serve as an introduction to literary and cultural theory. We will read closely a number of important (and difficult) theoretical texts while thinking about what relations exist between the different intellectual projects that we call theory (poststructuralism, psychoanalysis, new historicism, and gender studies are only a few). We will also ask and ask again the more general question: what is theory anyway?
