Introduction to the Study of Literature

Catalog description

ENGL 213 serves as the first course in the English major but is open to majors and non-majors alike. It offers a broad introduction to the study of literature: what we read, how we read it, and why. Students practice reading closely and listening attentively, and they learn to recognize literary devices and use key concepts such as theme, allusion, and point of view. Whatever your experience as a reader, this course will introduce you to new pleasures and challenges in literature. Fulfills the Humanistic Perspectives requirement for Gen Ed.
