Description
ENGL 201. ENGLISH LITERATURE SURVEY AND LITERARY STUDIES I. The first semester of the two-semester survey of English literature focuses on the major authors and representative works of each period from the early Middle Ages (Beowulf) to the 18th century. It also introduces students to major interpretive/critical schools of thought, as well as such foundational literary practices as close reading, analysis, and scansion. This course also fulfills the Writing Intensive (WI) and Information Literacy (IL) requirements for the English major. As such, it is the foundational course for the English major and should be taken in the first semester of the program. Fall semester only, three hours.
