- Class Description:
- What's the difference between reading a novel for pleasure and reading it for a class? How do we perform "close readings"? Are literary texts inextricable from their historical contexts? And what, exactly, is the purpose of literary criticism? We'll pursue these questions in the course of exploring four distinct literary modes: short stories by James Joyce, a novel by Charles Dickens, lyric poems by Emily Dickinson, and an absurdist play by Luigi Pirandello. Our study of these primary texts will be supplemented by a selection of classic and contemporary essays, all of which model different critical approaches in creative and exciting ways. This is a writing-intensive course and you will craft two critical essays and several shorter responses across the semester. To help you develop the analytical methods that you'll deploy in these assignments, our class meetings will be discussion-based.

- Class Description:
- This class introduces students to basic techniques of literary analysis by presenting straightforward approaches to some of the most powerful forms of English literature. We begin with the poetry of the self, discussing questions to ask of such poems and looking at the "self"; various poets present, the choices they make, and how they achieve their effects. We also think about what it might feel like to be that self through a number of light-hearted attempts at imitation. We turn next to Malory's story of King Arthur and the knights of the round table to discuss narrative that is not concerned with character development. We look finally at changes in what we think of as dramatic by comparing Monty Python's Holy Grail to Malory's and by examining Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Norman and Stoppard's Shakespeare in Love.
