Description:

Prereq. EN 250 or EN 310 or EN 311; EN 330; Integrated Communication Level 4 - Courses in this series, which includes British modernism, explore why we value certain literary authors and their works. The courses raise questions about who establishes critical standards and under what circumstances they are challenged or changed. Featured in this series are literary periods, such as modernism, in which questions about the nature and function of literature are central and during which creative writers also play a critical role. The student hones her own critical skills, including raising and evaluating her own and others' critical questions, reading literary criticism, and writing critical responses. Questions about the value of "difficult" writers, changing historical reputationsof writers, the lasting impact of historical writers on contemporary literature and literary criticism, and the relationship of literature and other arts shape some of the subject matter of the course.
