INTERMEDIATE CREAT WRITING
This is a workshop-style course in the writing of original poetry and short fiction—students will choose which genre they work in, but will be responsible for evaluating both types. Students should be prepared to have their original works read and commented on, and should be likewise prepared to offer sincere, helpful commentary to their classmates. Class sessions will be used primarily to engage in workshop discussions of student work, though some class sessions will also be spent discussing relevant modern and contemporary publications in both genres (including fiction by Daniel Woodrell, Kevin Brockmeier, and Ernest Hemingway; poetry by Bob Hicok, Billy Collins, and William Carlos Williams), as well as discussion of topics important to creative writing. NOTE: This course is designed for students who have already completed ENGL 202 or its equivalent.

WRIT ABT LIT NONMAJOR -WR
ENGL 310 will introduce students to the conventions and strategies for writing about literature, including novels, short fiction, and poetry. The course will emphasize the rhetorical moves of literary criticism, the vocabulary of literary criticism, and strategies for applying theoretical lenses to literary texts. The reading load will be light to moderate, allowing the course to focus on the drafting and refining of students’ own pieces of criticism.

WRIT ABT LIT NONMAJOR -WR
In this section of Engl 310, we will focus first on how academics write about literature, and then we will consider how that is similar or different from the way literature is written about in non-academic settings, like blogs, magazines, and other sites. The course will include 3-4 analysis papers, a book review, and a final digital project.

LONDON STUDY-WR Imagining the Medieval City
Note: This section requires travel out of the country.
The millennium between 500 and 1500 C.E. witnessed the rise of England as a European power and English as a literary language. Essential to the development of English culture was London’s emergence as a center of political aspiration, economic ambition, and artistic imagination. In this course, the city itself will be our principal textbook as we explore the medieval world and seek to better understand the influence of the premodern past on contemporary Anglo-American culture.
Following an initial week of classes in Louisville, we’ll spend two weeks exploring London and considering the ways in which the medieval past has left its imprint on the urban present. Each day will include a class session and/or workshop, accompanied by an expedition into the city and its environs. Upon our return, students will complete a significant writing assignment in which they will produce a sustained analysis of some aspect of the textual or material artifacts of medieval England studied during the course.
