ENG 191 - North Country Writers

Institution:

Jefferson Community College

Subject:

English

Description:

Affords the student an opportunity to personally encounter the regional literature of Northern New York State. The course entails a study of indigenous writers whose work may be local in setting and subject or more universal in scope. Its focus, however, is primarily toward autobiographies, biographies, historical sketches, novels, personal narratives, poetry, and scientific writings that reflect the unique quality of setting and the life within a setting encompassing Jefferson, Lewis, and St.Lawrence counties. Though it is a course in regional literature, the interelationship between the local area and the surrounding world, the world view of authors and persons in their works, as well as philosophical perspectives are important aspects. Prerequisite: ENG 101. (The above description is taken from the 1996-98 Jefferson Community College catalog.)
