Literary Dialogues

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the history of various traditions of literary studies to foster inclusive dialogue between literary fields, transcending national boundaries across the different areas of literary study within the department (e.g., British literature, American literature, world literature, children’s literature, film, and adaptation) and the broader field of literary studies. This course elucidates how these different fields developed not within a vacuum but often in conversation with one another, influenced by factors both within and outside academia.
