Course Catalog Description:
This course is designed for English majors and minors, as well any students interested in and attracted to literature and reading. Our concern will be to develop the intellectual foundations to move past our base, instinctive reactions to literature to deeper modes of reading, interpretation, and written analysis/argument. Our goal will be to develop the skills of slow-motion, skeptical reading: to savor the crafting of literary form and to explore how literary rhetoric engages our intellect and emotions; to read not simply for superficial content, but to engage and question the multi-faceted operation of literary texts. In terms of foundational writing skills for the English major, we will work on the development of compelling written literary arguments by breaking the writing process down into various phases. We will work with the basics of argumentation: developing a strong, coherent thesis, drafting, the logic of argument, revision, proper citation and effective use of primary and secondary sources, and more. prereq: [English major or minor or approved BIS or IDIM program with English area]
Class Notes:
All seats are reserved for students with declared English major or minor programs, or with approved IDIM or BIS programs with an English area. http://classinfo.umn.edu/?ismai004+ENGL3001W+Fall2018

Anyone who has puzzled in front of a piece of modern art, desperately seeking a placard or tour guide to give you a clue. Anyone who often finds themselves drawn to the subtles or connections in art of literature that others overlook. Anyone interested

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.
Who Should Take This Class?:
This class will help students at any level improve their close-reading and paper-writing skills.
