ENGL 276 - How Stories Get Told-and Why

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

On the most basic level this course explores just about the full range of narrative forms-novels and short stories, oral tales and jokes, epics and ballads, narrative within plays and within lyric poems, and non-fictional narratives from news articles to works of history. On a more analytical level the course examines techniques of narrative such as plot, fabula, narrative voice, point of view, beginnings, endings, and pace. On the deepest level the course explores the extent to which story-telling is the most fundamental and important way in which we organize whatever we experience and whatever we think we know. This course satisfies the requirement of a literary theory course. 1.00 units, Lecture
