Faculty First Year Seminars 191ENGL3 - American Short Stories

Each week, this First Year Seminar will tackle one short story. We will explore some of the most celebrated stories of U.S. literature and some under-studied gems. We will pay special attention to the historical, cultural, and political circumstances that underwrote the creation of these tales and sharpen our skills of literary analysis and collaborative class discussions. We'll also try our hand at some scene and story composition with in-class writing exercises.
