The aim of this course is to develop the student’s
ability to perform close readings of literature. By exploring the
moment-to-moment unfolding of sounds, rhythms, and meanings in a wide range of
works—poems, short stories, plays, and novels—from a wide range of time periods
and national traditions, students will lay the groundwork for future literature
courses. They will gain, in addition, a familiarity with some of the basic
topics of literary study, such as the relationship between language and
consciousness, the relationship between written language and other modes of
representation, and the question of what makes a piece of writing “literary” in
the first place. This course is intended for prospective
majors. Class size: 15
