Description
This seminar introduces Ph.D. students to graduate study in English A) by focusing on methods and methodological debates in literary study and B) by considering the state of “English” as an expert discipline. The aim of this course is to prepare new students for advanced work in the field and to orient them in the profession. We will do this by, for example, considering the close analysis of literary texts, examining how literary critics make their arguments, and asking about the status of the “literary” in the English department. You can expect to read, discuss, and write about works that exemplify and/or question important research methods and debates in literary studies.
