ENG 279 - Literature as Politics1 course unit
Students in this class will approach narratives, poems, and plays as rhetorical acts and sites of ideological struggle and will address and question widespread arguments that, on the one hand, reduce, literary works to the politics of writers and their times and, on the other hand, claim that as “art,” literary works “transcend” politics. Writers studied are likely to include Shakespeare, Burke, Paine, Blake, Hawthorne, Melville, Yeats, Conrad, DuBois, S. Lewis, Orwell, Bowen, Woolf, Warren, Wright, Garcia Marquez, Didion, Roth, Rushdie, McEwan, and Hitchens.
Meets general academic requirement L and W or HU and W.
