ENG 395 - Problems and Possibilities

Institution:

Lafayette College

Subject:

Description:

Literary research, like all research, entails both discovering answers and, more interestingly perhaps, discovering questions--finding uses for already-available evidence. We will do research in both these senses of the word. This course is an opportunity to find out what researces exist, what they are good for, and how to incorporate research into readable and lively papers. Seminar members will provide an interested and inquisitive audience for each others' projects. These projects, culminating in a substantial research-based essay, will be on topics chosen from a wide range of possible inquiries into literature and language. The course is designed for anyone interested in research and should be of particular value to present or prospective independent study and honors students and to those contemplating graduate or professional study. Prerequisite: ENG 205 and a course in Literary History or permission of the instructor Woolley
