ENG 32 - Contemporary Literature

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

Becoming a thoughtful reader of the literature of one's own time is the goal of this course. The reading list will vary, but will in all cases include a variety of critically acclaimed authors whose writing illustrates emerging trends in modern writing. Works read may represent various genres or types of literature, such as poetry, drama, the short story, the novella, the novel, the memoir, and nonfiction prose. The course might also be organized thematically rather than by literary type, exploring ideas which are important to the writers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and to their readers as well. In addition to familiarizing students with contemporary classics, a major goal of this course is to stimulate a lifelong interest in discovering new writers. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
