ENG K 276 - History Through Literature

Institution:

Connecticut State Community College Three Rivers

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisites: ENG* K102 or permission of the instructor. This course will examine a selected period in history using fiction, drama, or poetry to explore the major issues and dimensions of a particular period. By examining the works of literature, and the culture and events that shaped them, we can begin to understand the complex texture of any historical period. The dominant themes and underlying conflicts of an age emerge through the literature in a way that enables us to understand history as multidimensional rather than linear. Students will be asked to read, discuss, and write about a variety of literature, and to analyze how a period is represented through the texts. Writing assignments will stress critical analysis. This course is equivalent to HIS* K252 History through Literature.
