HU (Cross-listed in Writing Program) D.Sherman, T.Zwarg, K.Benston, S.Finley, G.Stadler Intended like other sections of the Writing Program to advance students' critical reading and analytical writing skills, this course is geared specifically towards introducing students to the discipline that studies the literary traditions of the English language. One of its aims is to explore the broad range of thematic interests inherent in these traditions, sharing as they do common roots in the history of our language and its influences. The powers and limits of language; ideas of "character" and "community," and the relation between person and place; heroic endeavor and the mystery of evil; loss and renovation-these are among the themes to be tracked through various strategies of literary representation and interpretation in a variety of genres (epic, narrative, and poetry) and modes (realism, allegory, and romance), and across a range of historical periods. Our goal is to develop the vocabulary, skills, and knowledge necessary to understand not only how we decide what literary texts "mean," but also how literary texts generate and contemplate "meaning." Introduces and carries credit toward the English major Prerequisite: None. (Satisfies the freshman writing requirement.)

Medieval notions of chivalry and courtly love also raise fascinating questions about the conflict between personal and private morality, and about the construction of both identity and gender.
