ENG 498 - Advanced Textual Studies (WI)

Semester Hours: 3
(Writing Intensive)

This course provides a capstone to the English Program and serves as a “bookend” to the introductory English courses. Like “Approaching Literature,” this course focuses upon the history, structure, and influence of one particular genre or type of storytelling. However, it supplements this focused analysis with theoretical work from scholars of the genre and helps students to develop their analytical and writing skills in conversation with these scholars. The class also contains significant practical component: students will be asked to create, adapt, and then reflect on their own works within these genres.

Pre-requisites: one 300-level ENG or WRT course, junior standing, or consent.
