English Literatures

The majority of students take at least one English course during their undergraduate career. While the curriculum focuses on literary study, students are encouraged to develop an appreciation for the English language that will stand them in good stead in all other fields of academic and professional endeavour. English is, in fact, a central study. The language is every student's essential instrument of understanding and expression and the subject - matter of the literature touches on every area of human knowledge and experience. More and more, under the increasing threat in our society to the Humanities and the values they embody, the vital importance of English must be stressed. With urgent reason, English has become "the central humanity."

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ENGLISH PROGRAMME

The 1000- level series courses offer an introduction to a variety of approaches to the reading of and writing about literature, using texts from a range of genres and periods. At the 2000 level, students may choose from an introduction to literary periods course, genre courses, Shakespeare courses, and a Canadian literature course. These courses provide foundation for the 3000-level courses. At the 3000 level students are offered courses in traditional periods of English literature, various national literatures including Canadian and American, Postcolonial literature, dramatic literature, creative writing, film, genre and cultural studies.

Normally taken only in the fourth year when students are best equipped to benefit from them, the "Selected Topics" courses of the 4000 -series provide an opportunity for students and faculty to develop their special interests. While various topics are offered from year to year at the 4000 level, students can pursue individual study and research under supervision (4951: Independent Study).

Since it is impossible to offer in any one year all the courses listed here at the 2000, 3000 and 4000 levels, students must use the Department's Handbook as their guide for the coming year.
Students may allow up to 6 credits in English for: Drama 3051 "Acting and Directing," Drama 3061 "Principles of Methods of Interpretation," and Drama 3001 "Dramatic Theory."
