First-Year Seminars 110LE - A Little Learning

We will attempt to discover some of the most useful lessons we can learn regarding ourselves, those close to us, and others with whom we share this planet; and we will study how such knowledge may be expressed in literary and expository works. Texts include novels such as Wharton's Summer, Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Barker's The Man Who Wasn't There, and others; also assorted poems, short stories, and essays.
