ENGL 230 - Survey of English Literature II


Survey courses at the intermediate level will focus on periods and movements in the development of the literature. The course will explore expressions of the human condition in literary forms, and the selected readings will equip students with the knowledge and skills to incorporate research effectively and innovatively, write successfully across genres, and use tools of literary analysis to interpret course readings. The courses will examine genre conventions in works of literature and will offer a more in-depth study of literary concepts and critical theory for close reading. Topics may include: Modern Global Literature; Western World Literature; The Making of American Literature; Dramatic Literature on Broadway; Survey of American Ethnic Literature; Bromantics to Brexit: A British Literature Survey; American Short Story Since 1900; Women Writers: Path Makers and Rule Breakers; How to Interpret Anything. Students will do two (2) or more significant academic writing assignments that total at least 20 pages, and at least one (1) of these is a thesis-driven assignment that integrates research and demonstrates information literacy. The writing process will include drafting and revising.
