ENGL 325 - Approaches to Literature: Intertextual

4 credits
This course explores the various ways that texts “answer” each other or imbricate each other. Writers often compose a text in response to another work (sometimes contemporaneous, sometimes distant). Writers also develop rivalries, write for each other as audience, feel especially influenced by or even possessed by another writer. In some eras, all literature is considered to be “part” of a larger project or in response to a “big” text (e.g., the Bible). Some literary works are written in the shadow of another language. Different theories of intertextuality will be covered. Amount of credit established at the time of registration. Course may be repeated for credit. Enrollment priority: given to English majors and minors. Prerequisites: One of the following as appropriate: ENGL 250 , ENGL 251 , ENGL 252  or ENGL 253 . Offered in alternate spring semesters.
