ENG 190 - Approaching Literature

Semester Hours: 3
Stories are how we make sense of the world. They structure our art, but also our politics, our society, and our sense of self. This course is an introduction to the various ways that stories and texts organize our understanding of things, often by using the tools of language, narrative, and perspective. Each section of this course will analyze a single type or genre of story (e.g., myths, science fiction, tragedy, autobiography) and introduce students to the tools they need to analyze and interpret how these texts work, as well as how they influence us as readers.

Pre-requisites: none.
