English 299, Introduction to Literary Analysis, offers a more theoretically oriented approach to the purposes of the FSLT requirement than the other courses currently offered by the English Department for FSLT credit. The syllabus and reading list of English 299 are organized according to these and similar questions. Attention is given to some of the theoretical debates raised by these questions and to the methodological implications of differing positions in these debates. Classroom discussion is evenly divided between theoretical reflection and textual analysis. Students write papers that are exercises in textual interpretation and take tests to ensure that they have grasped key terms and concepts.
