ENG 35 - Childhood and Literature

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

The class will read and discuss works of recognized literary quality which trace the development of a child or adolescent. Some of these works were originally written for children, some were once considered suitable for children but no longer are, and some are written for the adult reader but from the viewpoint of a child narrator. In some cases the course will revisit works ordinarily read by precollege students, and perhaps by the class members, to test the concept of altered reactions to and understanding of a work of literature over time. A typical series of readings for this course might include versions of fairy tales like "Cinderella" and "Beauty and the Beast"; classics of children's literature like J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland; and contemporary works from the viewpoint of the child or adolescent narrator. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
