ENG310 Seminar in Literary Tradition
Students will examine the ways that literary texts combine to form a tradition. Issues and problems of what constitutes a literary tradition will be foregrounded: What gives a tradition impetus? What causes it to end? How do texts converse with each other within a tradition? The focus will vary each time the course is offered, but it may be such areas as magical realism, theater of the absurd, Arthurian romance, the Victorian novel, or contemporary poetry. Reading of critical texts and writing of critical papers will be required. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisites: English 115 and 247.
