ENGL 323 - Approaches to Literature: Genre

2-4 credits
All writers conceive of themselves as writing inside of a genre. If writing inside of a genre involved only the imposition of constraint, writers surely would not choose to do it. What is genre? How does it open possibilities for writing? How do genres change over time and across cultures? What is the relationship between literary genre and the way humans frame their emotional, intellectual, and social experience? The focus will be on a single genre (e.g., novel, lyric poem, tragedy, comedy, epic, ballad, gothic novel, graphic novel, etc.) . Course may be repeated. Enrollment priority: Priority given to English majors and minors. Prerequisites: ENGL 250 , ENGL 251 , ENGL 252  and ENGL 253 . Offered in alternate spring semesters.
