Description:

This course brings critical texts to life, focusing on the reading and discussion of current trends in literary criticism, while keeping in mind deeper roots. This is critical theory for writers, offering the beginning or sophisticated critic a chance to develop an understanding of the uses, abuses, and relative power of language. Moving from self to other to social contract, the chosen texts represent a broad spectrum of ideas, enabling the writer to hone not only analytical skills but also a deeper sense of his/her place and lineage within the greater social and literary environment.
