HU 421 - Literary Genres3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
The purpose of the course is to acquaint students with the conventions of the novel, short story, poetry, and drama and to provide them with the tools they need in order to interpret, evaluate, and appreciate quality literature. By providing students with a richly diverse menu of selections, which balance the classic with the contemporary, it is hoped that they will develop a habit of reading quality literature because it holds their interest, helps them reflect on and understand the human condition better, and affords them much pleasure. The course focuses on class discussions involving the analysis and interpretation of many selections in each genre, but also considers, at times, historical, political, and social forces which may impact on a writer’s vision. It also considers major approaches to literary criticism.
