ENGL 5800 - History of Literary Criticism


Effective Date 08/01/2019
In this course we pursue two lines of argument at once: we read a judicious selection of the canonical primary and secondary works in the history of literary criticism from Plato to the mid-twentieth century; and we learn how to identify in a principled way a specific ‘pluralism’ of philosophic methods variously constituting these texts.
