Offers a critical introduction to various genres of literature (a diverse selection of short stories, poems, plays, novels), as well as an introduction to critical reading methods, all of which introduce students to methods for reading, interpreting and analyzing works of literature. The course explores and examines ways different forms, conventions and rhetorical purposes inform the production of literary works. Students will learn strategies for reading such works beyond the surface, and develop interpretive and analytic discussions of literary works as genres, aesthetic forms and social texts.
