LIT 314 Literary Places

Recognizing that literary production does not happen in the abstract but in specific places, this class offers an in-depth investigation of how place facilitates collaboration and dissent among authors and exerts an influence on their works. The course will focus on works from a specific place, to be chosen by the instructor, from which students will read extensively. Students will also read critical and historical material about the place. Informed by these readings, students in their written work will research some aspect of the relationship between the place and the work produced in it.
