ENG 125Introduction to Literature3
This course introduces students of all majors to the three genres of imaginative literature-fiction, poetry, and drama-emphasizing the elements and techniques of literary analysis and the relationship between form and content. The readings and assignments not only require formal analysis of texts but also encourage an appreciation of literature as a meaningful reflection of the human experience.
Introduction to Literature (Honors) involves students in a guided exploration of literature through the understanding and application of various critical theories. Invited to read, discuss, analyze, interpret, research, and write about fiction, poetry, and drama from the perspectives of a number of theoretical approaches, students will develop the ability to recognize assumptions of underlying certain literary theories, understand their aims and implications, and apply their methods of analysis to literature. Students will also practice a variety of researching and writing strategies that eveolve from the various theoretical perspectives.
