Our syllabus is subject to change as we move through the term, so I won’t post it in .pdf here. Instead, access it via our shared folder on Dropbox (along with readings in .pdf) so you are always consulting the current version: contact Prof. Allred if you have issues with access. The Dropbox is only available to course members due to privacy/fair use rules.

Here is the basic information that’s unlikely to change:

• Extend close reading skills developed in ENGL 220 via frequent practice with analytic writing.
• Develop new skills in decoding secondary literature from various methodological and theoretical traditions.
• Integrate literary arguments into existing critical conversations in writing.
• Gain basic familiarity with theories of visual culture and major themes in twentieth-century African-American writing.
