316WI Literary Nonfiction (3)

Literary Nonfiction is a writing intensive course in the reading and writing of nonfiction prose as a literary art. We'll survey the historical development of literary nonfiction (especially the essay), sample contemporary authors of the genre, write critical commentary on works we read, and compose personal essays of our own. The course is not exculsively a literary seminar nor a creative writing workshop, but seeks to mix and make connections between these modes, in the tradition of the essay itself. Prerequisites are English 110,225,and completion of the WEPT.
