Program Overview

The Literature Program is committed to imaginative, interdisciplinary and theoretical engagement with Anglophone literatures in all their historical, formal, generic, and global diversity. Literature majors take classes that engage a diverse range of texts from varied theoretical perspectives. The instructors are committed to presenting undergraduates with a historically and theoretically informed understanding of literary production and reception. They value many kinds of writing, analysis, and communication, and we encourage students to strengthen their critical thinking skills by recognizing that literature engages complex systems of meaning
