Bachelor of Arts - English - Literature

The Literature concentration invites students to engage in the critical study of literature in English produced in a range of historical eras and geographical locations. In addition to poetry, prose, and drama, students will also encounter contemporary and historical texts that challenge their definitions of literature. Students will learn new ways of approaching familiar figures while also gaining exposure to writers and thinkers whose work has not always been recognized. Students can expect guidance in developing their critical and analytical writing skills and in becoming conversant with theories and methods for analyzing texts.
