ENL 657 - Literature Seminar: Historical Approaches

3 credits
Explores canonical and/or non-canonical literature from a historical perspective to strengthen background knowledge and understanding of literature, using representative literary texts as a point for departure and discussion. Includes discussion of issues relating the role of historical texts to alternative, non-traditional, and multicultural contexts and of the pedagogical limitations and issues inherent in using a historical approach. Specific focus of the seminar, such as the Dickens Novel, will be listed in the course bulletin and on student transcripts.
