ENGL 096. Methods

This course introduces you to a range of theoretical methods for literary interpretation, including feminism, queer theory, Black studies, postcolonialism, Marxism, (new) historicism, ethnic studies, psychoanalysis, Native studies, ecocriticism, disability studies, and book history. We will read a selection of particularly fruitful approaches to understanding literature, including classic texts and exciting recent work; apply these methods to a variety of primary texts; and experiment with how we might extend and remake them in our own critical practices.
