Description
As the culminating course in a three-part series, ENL 10C is designed to prepare students majoring in English for advanced work in upper-division literary studies. Accordingly, in this reading- and writing-intensive course, we will be learning to “read” and to “write” in ways that will probably be both new and familiar: to evaluate written information both critically and aesthetically, to recognize and scrutinize the aspects of writing that are, by definition or convention, “literary,” and to develop a critical vocabulary that enables you to articulate your ideas in more precise, complicated, informed, and interesting ways. This critical vocabulary will include major literary and historical movements and events, genres, forms, and technical terms to describe both individual texts and family resemblances among texts written in English after 1900.
