Course Description

The novel as a genre has been closely identified with the act of representation. What it means to represent "reality," however, has varied widely. This seminar will explore how the representation of reality changes as modern fiction questions the assumptions about knowing, language, and society that defined the great tradition of realism. Limited to 20 first-year students. Banner registration after classes begin requires instructor approval. FYS
