Description
This class aims to introduce students to a wide range of literary writing composed in English since 1850, providing introductory-level access to the historical and formal problems that literature has raised. Rather than aim for anything like coverage, however, this survey will focus on one realist novel, and then multiple works in a further two genres, modernist poetry by women, and superhero comics. This will hopefully allow us to experience a wide range of types of literature in English, without requiring each individual text to stand in for an entire genre. It will also help us to understand the value of literary analysis of texts across time, medium, register, and readership.
