Subject:

Description:

How much can we read into a work based on our knowledge of a writer's life? In this course we will look at literary texts in relation to letters and diaries. We will then look at how biographers and literary critics used those same letters and diaries to say something about the author's life or writings. After reading some essays by biographers about the challenges that they have faced in their work, students will attempt to compose an argument of their own by drawing on letters, diaries, or other primary sources. Amount of credit established at time of registration. Course may be repeated. Enrollment priority: given to English majors and minors. Prerequisite: ENGL 20A and 20B and ENGL 21A and 21B.
