LITR 319 - AUTHOR STUDIES
AUTHOR STUDIES. Each section focuses on one or two individual authors whose work has had a sustained impact on literary culture. Authors studied vary from semester-to-semester, as well as from instructor-to-instructor. Students should expect to engage in sophisticated discussion of literary topics ranging from contemporary criticism to literary biography, including the global contest of an author's work. The course requires substantial writing and research. LITR 31901 WOOLF/MORRISON: In very different cultural contexts, Toni Morrison and Virginia Woolf tell and retell personal and collective stories in such a way that asks readers to explore their own lives in terms of larger stories of compassion and survival. In the telling of stories, Morrison and Woolf rely on memory as central to understanding one's identity and place in history. In this course, we will closely read their texts and analyze both the differences and similarities that bind together and separate these two great 20th century writers. We will look at the historical and intellectual currents that have influenced these writers' works. At the same time, we will examine their narrative strategies, their use of language, and their thematic concerns. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Literature Department Course Attributes: WRITING INTENSIVE Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Undergraduate Prerequisites: FOR LITR 319 General Requirements: ( Course or Test: CRWT 102 Minimum Grade of D May not be taken concurrently. and Course or Test: LITR 200 to 299 Required Courses: 1 Minimum Grade of D May not be taken concurrently. ) and ( Course or Test: LITR 101 Minimum Grade of D May not be taken concurrently. ) or ( Course or Test: LITR 203 Minimum Grade of D May not be taken concurrently. )
