Course Description

For the advanced writer. To write as a literary scholar or critic, we analyze theoretical and cultural frames through which research and ideas are given shape and significance within the discipline. We generate, research and revise four essays, moving from close reading to inter-textual analysis to grappling with varied sources to explore a literary subject, problem, or artist in an engaging intellectual journey. Writing sample required. Prerequisite: EL 13, 16, 18, 114, 116, 118, or 119 (ENGL0130, 0160, 0180, 1140, 1160, 1180, or 1190). Class list will be reduced to 12 after writing samples are reviewed during the first week of classes. Preference will be given to English concentrators. Banner registrations after classes begin require instructor approval. S/NC.
