  • EN 4820: Literary Theory:Text and Context

    3.00 Credits
    Rockhurst University

    An intensive upper-division seminar that focuses on techniques derived from historical as well as mid- and late-20th century literary criticism to examine literary texts and the role that literary theory has played in our understanding of the concept of literature, per se. Applying a variety of theory-based methodologies to selected poems, short stories, and novels, the course introduces the student to both the literature and the theoretical constructs that have helped form what has become the modern institutions of literary culture. The impact of such approaches as diverse as traditional, authorial intensions; text-centered analyses; and the more intense, linguistic focus of recent history will be combined with applied textual analysis techniques that reveal different, yet not altogether opposing, insights into a representative sample of texts as diverse as Andrew Marvel's "To His Coy Mistress," William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown," and Alice Walker's "Everyday Use", to name a few.
