| Detailed Course Description: This class introduces students to the professional study of literature. We will read a wide variety of texts (poetry, prose, drama) and use them as the basis for learning the rudiments of literary analysis (meter, form, symbolism, genre, etc.). We will touch on the history of English literature and of literary criticism. Students will learn how to use bibliographic tools and how to write analytical essays about literature.
