ENGL 1189 Introduction to the Novel
Novels unlock vast worlds to the reader by transporting them to times and places they would never otherwise experience. We explore the novel as a literary form by reading, examining, and discussing a variety of examples. We analyze the genre’s features using literary vocabulary, such as plot, narration, characters, setting, and dialogue. Our analysis also considers important themes, social and historical contexts inherent in novels, and multiple perspectives on a work. Such study develops empathy and awareness of diverse human experiences.
