ENGL 3350: Region and Culture in Literature

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: ENGL 1102
This course is a study of literature using region as the primary category of analysis. Texts might include fiction and nonfiction, performance texts (such as drama and folktales from the oral tradition), and examples of material culture. The class might focus on a specific geographic region (e.g., the Caribbean); a comparative study of regional culture (e.g., Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpa vs. Hardy’s Wessex); or authors or themes closely associated with a region (e.g., Cather’s West).
