ENGL1201W: Contemporary American Literature

4 CreditsEnvironmentEthical and Civic ResponsibilityLiteratureWriting Intensive

In this course, we will focus on the analysis of literature, specifically novels and short stories published since 1960 by American authors. We will emphasize close reading, consistently and specifically addressing issues of language and meaning. Our books will also fuel an ongoing discussion of the formal aspects of literature, including style, characterization, plot, theme, tone, and symbolism, and their capacity to evoke a powerful response from readers. This four-credit writing intensive class requires attendance at a twice-weekly lecture and once-weekly discussion section.
