This course examines the major critical and theoretical texts of western civilization along with the major modern critical approaches to the study, interpretation, and evaluation of literature, and applies such theory to literary works from primarily western writers. This course explores a number of questions and issues that are central to literary studies. Namely, what is literature? What is the function of literature? Is it an aesthetic object that embodies universal truths or a socially constructed text that participates in the cultural discourses and power relations that create it. How do we analyze and evaluate literature in terms of what it represents? What is the role of the literary critic? Are there correct and incorrect ways to read literature? What is the relationship between writers, readers, society, and literature? What do our individual understandings of literature say about each of us as writers, readers, teachers, and literary scholars?

Students will be required to update the professional website during the internship to include work done during this experience. This is a required course for all undergraduate English and Professional Writing majors and should be taken prior to the for-credit internship experience.

Honors Independent Study/Thesis.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Supplementary research conducted by an Honors student in an upper-division (or 300 or 400-level) course in which the student is enrolled. The research is related to a topic in the course, but in addition to the standard requirements of the course, the research should exhibit advanced inquiry or investigation into the topic. The Honors student earns 1, 2, or 3 credits in addition to the credits for the course itself. The number of additional credits depends on the amount and intensity of the supplementary research. Each department in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences has a specific course number which uses the departmental prefix, but all courses will use a common number (398). The course title will read "Honors Supplementary Research" and will have a variable credit value from 1 to 3 credits, e.g. ENG 398 Honors Supplementary Research.

This course studies the histories of rhetoric as well as contemporary intersections and applications across disciplines. Depending on the particular interests of the professor, one or more specific area(s) such as media, popular culture, sciences, feminisms and gender studies, composition studies, literary theories, literacies, global issues, pedagogy, arts, and political discourse will be chosen for a more detailed study. Critical to the course are the writing assignments that allow students to examine issues in more depth and explore alternative rhetorical stances and situations.

This course is a revision of and replacement for ENG 502 Problems of Research in English. This course provides beginning graduate students an introduction to the history, traditions, issues, problems, and debates of English Studies. From the perspective of the outsider or newly initiated, the proliferation of areas of interest within English Studies can be confusing if not daunting. It is the goal of this course to familiarize new graduate students with the historical development of English Studies and the shape of English Studies today. Designed as one of the core courses for all English MA students, this course will include studies of the profession, experience in writing professional documents (such as conference proposals, abstracts, book reviews, thesis proposal), practical guidance in relevant research methods, and inquiry into the major theoretical and disciplinary issues and challenges of English Studies. This is a required course of all English MA students.
