ENGL 302 - Great Works You Should Have Read By Now

Credit(s): 3
This course focuses on long-form literature (including novels, plays, long poems, and book-length nonfiction) that have collectively become “must reads.” Students will examine what makes these works “great” – stylistically, aesthetically, historically, culturally – in an effort to question the role and creation of a canon while also appreciating the fact that some literature does, for one reason or another, rise to the top.

Prerequisites: one 200-level literature course.
Course Level: Undergraduate
