AFRC101 - STUDY OF AN AUTHOR: TONI MORRISON

This is an introduction to literary study through the works of a single author--often Shakespeare, but some versions of this course will feature other writers. We will read several works and approach them--both in discussion and in writing--from a range of critical perspectives. The author's relation to his or her time, to literary history generally, and to the problems of performance, the likely to be emphasized. Some versions of this course will also serve as an introduction to other members of the English faculty, who will visit the class as guest lecturers.
