ENG 172 - Literature of Protest (Cornerstone Seminar)Three Credits
Periodically or As Needed
An examination of a variety of literary works from the middle of the 19th century to the present, focusing on the ways they critique prevailing power structures and ideology. How these various writers construe the relationship between aesthetics and politics (that is, the social/political purposes of their art) is the central question we will seek to answer. By examining the ways in which each work assaults the status quo of an inhumane, often brutal society, we will trace a tradition of protest literature and discover the means and methods of protest writers from several different cultures and national literatures.
