ARTW B251 - Travel Writing

Institution:

Haverford College

Subject:

Description:

Downing This course introduces students to a genre that is too rarely studied or attempted. The first purpose of the course is to introduce students to masterpieces of travel writing in order to broaden students' understanding of the genre and the world. The second is to give students a chance to experiment with travel writing. Finally, the course seeks to sensitize students to the nuances of style (diction, syntax, etc.) that affect the tone and texture of a writer's prose. While students need not have traveled extensively in order to take this course, passionate curiosity about the world is a must. Not offered in 2008-09.
