Readings are chosen according to each student's prior experience and interests. Rather than a chronological approach, with division into literary movements, the student chooses, upon advisement, one or more themes (e.g., the artist and society, literature of social protest, the role of women, the search for identity) which is pursued by reports to the whole class. A detailed personal record of reading progress is maintained to assure the systematic development of each student's facility in literary criticismPrerequisite(s)/Course Notes: ITAL 5 and 111 or 112.
