Description
Broadly defined, genre refers to different forms of literary expression, such as fiction, poetry, and drama, but genres are also a reflection of cultural contexts and traditions. In this course, students will focus on different definitions of genre; issues of form, style, and content; and how ideas about genre change over time. Readings will include texts from at least two genres and two national literatures as well as material from before and after 1800.
