ENGL 1167
FWS: Great New Books

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

Would you be able to identify the Shakespeare or Austen of your time?  What are the best books being written today and how do we know they are great? What role do critics, prizes, book clubs and movie adaptations play in establishing the appeal and prestige of new literature? Are there some books that are great in their moment and others that will be considered great for generations to come? These are some of the questions we'll explore as we read, discuss, and write critical essays about several of the most acclaimed books published in the last twenty years. Our readings will include works in a range of genres, from novels and memoirs to poetry and graphic novels.

When Offered Fall, spring.
