ENGL 2102-003: Literary Analysis (Fall 2018)
This course teaches how to analyze poetry and prose. It assumes some experience with literary analysis but not advanced knowledge. It is divided about equally between poetry and prose, with poetry in the first half. The section on poetry explores, among other things, the relations between poetry and music, including rap and popular song. The section on prose includes both fiction and creative nonfiction. The overall goal is to acquire not only objective knowledge and analytical skill but also new ways of understanding creativity, including your own.
