Literature and Genre

Catalog description

Learn to analyze literature and its genre conventions in a self-conscious, logical and rigorous manner. Discover the pleasure of reading complex works of art and develop critical thinking habits for life beyond the university. Genre (e.g., novel, short story, drama, poetry, film) provides one of the most basic ways of creating meaning. Focus varies by instructor; students should consult the Department of English website for information on specific sections. Course may be repeated if instructor and subtitle are different.
