This seminar introduces English majors to the interdisciplinary nature of literary study. Though its subject varies, the seminar includes a variety of texts and explores various theoretical approaches to their interpretation. Students have opportunities both to consider the broad social, political, and philosophical implications of different critical theories and to engage in the practical work of applying those theories to their reading of literature. The seminar is designed to teach students basic skills of literary research, including how to use such bibliographical tools as the online version of the MLA Bibliography, how to find and procure journal articles and scholarly books, and how to format a research paper in accordance with MLA style. It also provides experience in reading scholarly articles and familiarity with academic literary discourse. Students explore various critical theories in short writing assignments, sometimes assessing the argument of a theoretically informed essay on a literary text, sometimes applying a particular critical theory in a close textual analysis of literary work. Oral as well as written presentation is stressed. Students demonstrate their knowledge of basic research skills by completing a final research paper of 8-12 pages. Prerequisite: For English majors and minors only, or by permission of instructor.
