Description
English 10B is the second course in the required three-part Literatures in English sequence. This is a reading- and writing-intensive class designed to prepare you for upper-division classes in the English major, to improve your close reading and research skills, and to introduce some of the key themes emerging in the literatures of this period. We will read prose, poetry, and drama written in English between 1700-1900, focusing loosely on encounters between English/American selves and those they construed as other, as well as how those others spoke back and/or were discovered to be part of the self after all.
