The literature emphasis aims to develop advanced skills in critical reading, writing, and research. Small-group seminars (no more than 18 students to a class) help to deepen understanding of British and American literature and language and are organized around major figures, trends, genres, or approaches to literary texts. Department-sponsored colloquia held throughout the year introduce new theories of critical interpretation. Ample elective units make filling gaps in literary knowledge possible through advanced undergraduate coursework.
