ENGL 510: Fiction and Culture

This course provides a selective study of fiction focused on a specific cultural theme, cultural group, or specific historical period. Examples might include, but are not limited to, a focus on Christian culture, African-American literature, or Nineteenth-Century American Literature.

The course will be writing-intensive—including formal and informal writing—and will focus on formalist and cultural analytical approaches to fiction.

Students will learn how to:

-Explain how the form of a piece of fiction (e.g., literary devices) conveys the meaning of the text.
-Manage the writing process effectively to generate organized, coherent, creative, specifically-supported, rhetorically-effective literary analyses.
-Evaluate the meaning of a fictional text using specific biblical principles.
-Interpret fictional texts based on the culture of focus for the course (i.e., based upon the cultural theme, cultural group, or culture of the historical period of focus).

Please review the syllabus for full course information.

This is a Fall II course. Participants may register for one Full Semester course or one course each in Fall I and Fall II.
