- General background preparation for advanced study. Diverse selection of literatures written in English, usually bridging national cultures and time periods. Readings specified in Class Schedule.
- Class Notes:
- Routine, Stagnation, Epiphany, Growth, Revision: The Art of Change In this class, we'll be thinking about the role of change in literature and how we express that in our writing and how we push against it or deny it. We'll also think about how we read our own works while within the revision process. We'll read everything from traditional approaches--think epiphanies in fiction, think the ways a villanelle can make a repeated phrase have new meaning, a personal narrative that is explicitly about the person the essayist "used to be"--to looking at how shifts in structure, genre, style, and voice in more experimental forms of literature can have resonance. We will also write and generate and play in different genres and styles in the first third of the semester. We will revise and embroider those works in the semester's middle. And in the final third of the semester, we will have opportunities to present our works to one another both for reading as critique to encourage change, as well as reading for pleasure, and reflect on the ways we read in both situations.
