ENGL 141 - Rivers in American Literature


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 4 Hours
Attribute: 4 HU

An introduction to the different meanings of rivers in a variety of texts, genres, and formats.  Through careful readings of short pieces (poems, films, songs, stories, essays), longer accounts (novels, history, travel writing, autobiography), and local waterways, we will examine some of the different meanings that Americans have attributed to rivers and attempt to imagine where our attitudes towards places, people, and flowing water might lead us. Student writing will include brief essays and exams. Enrollment limit: 50.
Instructor: T.S. McMillin
