ENGL 395 - Comparative Reading of Two Authors

3 Credit(s) | Lecture |
Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
This course offers a comparative study of two British or two American writers who worked within a shared national tradition, and whose writings reveal social and thematic affinities or present interesting problems of contrast. Students in the course engage in the meaningful juxtaposition of the two authors, exploring how such comparisons can lead to a more complex understanding of each. Unlike ENGL 394 , which compares writers from different nations, this version of the course does not offer transnational credit. The authors studied vary from year to year. Examples of possible paired writers include Shakespeare and Jonson, Burney and Austen, Hawthorne and Melville, Dickens and Gaskell, or Wharton and Morrison.

Enrollment Requirements:
Prerequisite: ENGL 200  or ENGL 201  or ENGL 202
