ENG 100/139 - ”Getting the Joke”: Satire and Sentimentality3 Credits
Offered periodically
In this course, we’ll read short works and excerpts of canonical Western literature in their social, historical, and literary contexts in order to “get the joke.” Through careful reading and close analysis, students will explore intersections of satire and sentimentality in both their literary and colloquial contexts. Be forewarned: very often, the joke will be on us.
