Abstract
Description
Texts and Criticism is designed to explore the basic types of literary criticism and the theories that guide each. All criticism relies on theories, each with its own special set of terms and concepts. Students will concentrate on learning those terms, so that they understand them and can identify them in existing critical writing. The course will view all methods of critical theory as equally valid, and look at why critics might choose one method or the other. In the process, students will discover key assumptions they bring to their own writing and they will learn new ways of reading and writing about literature. It will also look at the practical issues for English majors: how to locate the best critical articles on any topic, how to incorporate other people’s insights into your own ideas, how to cite your sources appropriately, and the other mechanical aspects students need to master in order to produce a well-considered research paper.
