ENGL 369 - Life Writing

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

English

Description:

This course examines life writing (autobiography, memoir and biography)across time. Texts might include translated works by St. Augustine, Nikos Kazantzakis, and Marjane Satrapi; slave narratives and other classic texts (for example Boswell's Life of Johnson); and memoirs by contemporary writers. We'll question formal aspects: the narrator as a character, inclusions and omissions, structure, etc. But we'll also attempt to place each book in an historical and geographical context. This course fulfills the Periods & Movements or the Theory requirement for English majors.
