English 1423 B2: Writing and Reading Critically This course will introduce you to the study of literature in English through close readings, comparative considerations and an exploration of the form, content and context of a number of representative literary works that span over 400 years of cultural expression. The purpose of this course is to exercise and improve your skills in comprehension, composition and independent critical thought by actively encountering and responding to poetry, prose, and drama from various historical periods. Ultimately, we will use these foundations to better understand the ways that narrative traditions have persisted and evolved in the media-rich environment of the 21st-century.
