    Prerequisites: WTNG 102 
    Fulfills a course requirement in the English Literature Core Concentration
    Students begin by identifying archetypes, including the heroic ideal, found in folk tales and fairy tales from around the world.

  • ENG 220 - Literary Analysis


    Prerequisites: ENG 100  (or CW 210  and CW 220 ) and enrollment in or completion of a 200-level WTNG course
    Fulfills a course requirement in the English Literature Core Concentration
    Literary competence includes an understanding of the conventions that govern professional literary criticism, lifelong habits of analysis, judgment, and the development of critical acumen (i.e., an understanding of genre, an awareness of literary history as a context, an understanding of critical theory and the interpretation of literature in concept and in practice, and the development of advanced research skills). To develop these competencies, this course practices close reading across a range of critical theories, including Feminism, Deconstructionism, Post Colonialism, Marxism, Lesbian, Gay and Queer Theory, African American Criticism and Cultural Studies. Students will also discuss the impact of cultural diversity (e.g., race, class, and gender) on literary criticism while developing an understanding of the way that literary texts both reflect and project cultural ideologies. The final paper in this course will model the processes and standards used in Senior Thesis I & II.

    Fulfills a course requirement in the English Literature Core Concentration
    This course considers the late 20th-century/early 21st-century British novel and examines closely a number of key issues that shaped, as well as continue to affect, postwar British literature and culture, such as the movement from empire to post-colonialism; the “new internationalism” in British literature; and the role of the most prestigious literary award in Britain, the Man Booker Prize. In reading comparatively a number of 20th- and 21st-century “British” novels, we will also pay particular attention to the continuously shifting dynamics between the notions of “British,” “English,” “international,” and “global/world” as reflected in the stories told, the ways in which they are told, and in the different works’ fate in the literary marketplace.

    Fulfills a course requirement in the English Literature Core Concentration
    This course is not for passive readers. Shakespeare wrote for the stage, for live performance. Each week, while students concentrate on reading closely the playwright’s written word, they also transform their classroom into his stage, collectively bringing his words to life. But Shakespeare’s art, catholic in nature and scope, is also a historic reservoir, providing students a rich opportunity to explore the social, political, religious, scientific, and historical conditions that underpin his works. Students investigate Renaissance England’s daily life-from bearbaiting to feasting to sumptuary laws-and its political machinations and religious teachings–from rancorous kings and “tavern diplomacy” to man’s new relationship with God.

  • ENG 351 - Shakespeare on Film


    Prerequisites: ENG 100  (or CW 210  and CW 220 ) and 200 or 300 level WTNG course. This course may not substitute for ENG 350 
    This course focuses on film adaptations of William Shakespeare’s plays that “translate” the dramas into cinematic language. Because this is a Shakespeare course, students read a selection of plays, study their language and structures, and discuss them as dramatic literature. Because this is a film course, students study Shakespeare filmic adaptations from different historical periods and cultures in terms of camera technique, directorial choices, film history, and the times and places in which they were produced. Students read a history play, a comedy, one or two tragedies, and a romance and then study the filmic interpretations of those works by some of the most famous (and not so famous) directors (e.g., Zeffirelli, Wells, Kurosawa, Luhrmann, Branagh). This intertextual study helps students to appreciate the richness of Shakespeare’s texts and how they present multiple possibilities to those who interpret them.
