ENGL 223 - Critical Theory

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

English

Description:

Being a literary critic requires thinking about how and why we read. This course introduces critical approaches to literature and essential methods of academic research. Students will develop analytical reading, writing, and research skills that will prepare them for advanced levels of literary scholarship. Students will also begin identifying the basic aims and concepts underlying literary theories such as feminism, critical race theory, and disability theory, articulating the similarities and differences among them, and reflecting on the implications of reading texts through various frameworks. This course, ENGL 221: Word by Word: Textual analysis, and ENGL 222: Words in the World: Texts in Contexts are prerequisites for most 300-level courses in the English major. Students must have completed two of the three to register for these upper-division courses.
