專業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么？
The English major is designed to be both intellectually stimulating and versatile. Our classes train students to write with clarity and sophistication; to analyze and interpret literary and other kinds of texts and place those texts within historical, theoretical, and aesthetic contexts; to evaluate arguments according to their logical and rhetorical features; and to understand, think about, and respond to the values offered in written texts. This training allows English majors to take their places within a rapidly evolving society, a globalized culture, and an increasingly information-based economy. In the spirit of liberal education in the humanities, the study of English also allows our students to respond to society’s increasing need for a citizenry skilled in critical thought and communication.
The Literature concentration provides students with an in-depth background in British and American literature and a foundation in the methods and practices of literary studies. By taking courses in a variety of literary periods and genres, English majors concentrating in literature gain rich exposure to literary history and to the texts, movements, authors, and cultural forces that constitute it. In addition, students are trained in analysis and interpretation, the uses of literary theory, and the complex organizational and verbal skills involved in critical writing.
In fulfilling the requirements of the concentration, students study literary subjects ranging from Chaucer to Toni Morrison; Shakespeare to the Romantic poets; Milton; Donne; and their contemporaries to contemporary drama. Special topics courses are regularly offered in areas such as Lewis Carroll and nonsense literature; Arthurian legends; and race, gender, and cultural studies.
The literature concentration offers extensive training in critical thinking, advanced reading and analysis, and oral and written communication. It also addresses questions of artistic production, textuality, culture, values, and communication. For these and other reasons, literature has proved an excellent concentration for students planning careers in law, education, publishing, journal and magazine writing, research, evaluation, advertising, library science, public relations, business, and public service.
