ENGL 422 - Major Novels

3 credit hours
Prerequisites: COMP 202 with final grade of C or better
This course studies important examples of what has become one of the most widely read literary genres today: the novel. Issues include genre (what was new about novels), the representation of subjectivity, the paradoxes of “realism,” moral didacticism and its subversion, the significance of gender and class, and the search for meaning in a changing world. Author selection will vary from year to year but will be guided by current regional and national expectations for teaching candidates.
