ENG 269, 270 - Literature & Mass Media

1 course unit
A study of the relationship between ostensibly literary writing and mass entertainment (movies, rock-and-roll, TV) as sometimes competing yet symbiotic constellations of cultural practices that trace their modern institutional form to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to the emergence of “Grub Street” and the Romantic idealization of the artist-hero.
Meets departmental Texts/Contexts approach.
Meets general academic requirement L or HU (and W when offered as 270).
