FDR: HL
Credits: 3
Planned Offering: Winter 2013

Prerequisite: Completion of FW requirement. Studying literature in relation to history and culture from Anglo-Saxon kingdoms to the struggles between republicans and monarchists, this course explores how influential kinds of literature are created in order to meet cultural demands (social, economic, political, religious) and how, in turn, these kinds shape their cultures and later forms of writing. We practice multiple approaches to critical reading, and students develop analytical writing skills in a series of short papers. Staff.
