English 101 - Love and Money

In novels, plays, and poems by writers as various as William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Oscar Wilde, love and money frequently stand in for and in opposition to each other. In this course we will develop critical reading and writing skills by analyzing how writers from the early modern period to our own use the intersection of financial and affective economies to define concepts of value, gender, and work. Reading may also include texts by C. Rossetti, Millay, Auden, as well as some contemporary writers.

This course is limited to first-year students.
