ENGL 2492 Literary Topics:

This course provides the student with knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of literary works in a condensed, highly focused format. The works will be analyzed using the conventional literary elements of plot, character, diction, setting, and theme. Students may also analyze ancillary issues which will inform their understanding of the works such as historical, social, political, religious effects of the works or influences on the works. Other methods of understanding may also be employed, according to the needs of the students and the demands of the text. The focus will be to give an intensive understanding of a small number of works within a single genre, rather than a broad overview of a large number of texts. (1-3 lect.)
