ENG 130 A Literary Ventures: Walking Books
Walking offers us a world that we cannot experience in an automobile or airplane or on a screen. In this course we will learn about walking's history and discuss its role in memoirs, novels, short stories, plays, poems, and/or essays. We will also walk - on trails, sidewalks, and open spaces; in towns, cities, and country; in weather fair and fairer. The course will include presentations and student writing of various kinds, both academic and personal.

ENG 261 A Shakespeare Performed
The study of representative Shakespeare plays, with special emphasis on the close analysis and public performance of one play. All students will do analytical writing and will be involved in some aspect of the performance.

ENG 260 Shakespeare
For four centuries Shakespeare has been celebrated as the greatest writer in English. This course will help students more fully understand the power of his plays, both as literature for reading and scripts for performance. Reading plays of each major type (comedies, tragedies, and histories; typically seven to eight plays), we will explore such topics as language, moral vision, gender, politics, and historical context. Students will have the opportunity to explore their interpretations in writing and by staging a scene.
