English 301

ENGLISH 301, Critical Methods in the Study of Literature, is the gateway course for the English major. English majors may not proceed to take upper level courses until they have first taken ENGL 301. The course is unlike other literature courses because it is process, not content, driven. Which is to say that it is not shaped by the traditional ways that literature courses are organized: time period, genre, author(s), nationality. In effect, English 301 has no “content,” only an array of skills and concepts that the English faculty agree are essential for our majors to master.
