ENGL 400 - Literature Capstone

This course will culminate in a research essay of 15-20 pages that demonstrates the ability to use the methods and theoretical tools of literary studies; the topic of research, both the text(s) to be interpreted and the theoretical lenses to be used for analysis, will be entirely open to student choice and may include film, TV, or newer media. Course content will focus on examples of the application of literary theories and the use of tools of literary research. The course will take a workshop approach in part, so that students would do some workshopping of their final project and maybe other projects, like different theoretical approaches to the same text.
