LITR 7203 - British Literature Survey

This course surveys the major British writers, from the medieval period to the present, in all literary genres. Students analyze the texts and respond to them in writing and in class discussion. Themes for exploration will be drawn from the reading; students will also investigate the contexts that produced the literature. The course is writing-intensive so that it develops the writing and critical thinking skills introduced in COMP 1503 and other literature and humanities courses, in assignments related to readings and discussions, including writing analytical papers on the texts. Information literacy is developed through a research paper.
