Catalog Description: Every semester. Intensive writing course that trains students in techniques of writing and literary analysis through writing about literature. Readings and format vary in different sections. Satisfies first-year English writing requirement.
Semester Details: Content: This course will consider how American writers have made literary and rhetorical use of fear in their appeals, sermons, novels, short stories, essays, and poems. Whether appealing to fear for persuasive purposes, depicting individuals beset by terror, or inviting readers to delight in feeling frightened, the course's texts share an interest in generating and reflecting on affective response. Discussions and writing assignments likely will focus on the writings of Charles Brockden Brown, David Walker, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Edgar Allan Poe, Harriet Jacobs, and Grace King among others.
