The impressive sales of non-fiction works such as Jon Krakauer's "Intothe Wild" and Sebastian Junger's "The Perfect Storm" has focuspopular and critical attention on the rapidly growing popularity of a genre of literature that is now often referred to as creative or literary nonfiction. In this writing intensive class, we will consider the question of how this type of writing differs from other types of non-fiction. We will examine some of these other literary forms, including the personal essay, the natural history essay, and the memoir, and will compare and contrast the literary techniques used by writers of such works. Each student will be expected to produce three or four finished essay-length works. The course will be offered at least every other year. ( LA, WS2) Prerequisite: Passing grade on CWE.

We will begin with the achievements of the Greek and Roman masters of the literary and critical arts, then focus on the allegorical analyses and construction of the late classical Neoplatonists and the medieval schoolmen, and end with the literary conventions and excesses of the Renaissance period. Models for imitation will be drawn from the works of such authors as Gorgias, Isocrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Longinus, Quintilian, Augustine of Hippo, Boethius, Geoffrey of Vinsauf, Robert of Basevorn, Christine de Pizan, Desiderius Erasmus, Peter Ramus, Thomas Wilson, Margaret Fell, and Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. Theorists works will be read in conjunction with literary works exemplifying or defying the prescriptions of the theorists. Like classical, medieval and Renaissance scholars, the students in this class will hone thier own composition and critical skills first by imitating the exemplars we will read, and then by developing their own styles and voices.
