ENG 100/152 - Site-Specific Literature (Core/First-Year Seminar)Three or Four Credits
Spring 2018
This course will explore literature about space and place. How do writers craft the feeling of a particular place in their work? What is our experience of this place in our imaginary-or what is the experience of reading this literature in the very place it was written about? We will examine how being “here” or “there” relates to issues of identity, community, belonging, displacement, power, and privilege. We will find ourselves in Joyce’s Dublin, compare Dickens’s and Woolf’s London to the city as experienced by a West Indian immigrant, contemplate geography with John Green, and read a poem about Boston’s Public Garden in the Public Garden itself, all the while discovering how we locate ourselves in and outside of these texts.
