Description

This is a course about the artistic aspects of literature. Students consider the nature of art-what it is, what it does, why it matters. The course analyzes a variety of works drawn from three genres-the short story, poetry, and drama. Topics include censorship, public funding for the arts, and contemporary critical theory.

Prerequisites

Degree students only, with fewer than 30 credits when they entered UMass Boston. Students may complete only one 100G course (First Year Seminar).

This course is closed for registration.
