This course is the second part of first-year English and introduces you to poetry and drama. In the first half, the course briefly considers the major features of poetry and then looks closely at how a poem is organized, how thematic patterns emerge, how the work of a specific poet can be characterized according to style, and how specific subjects can be treated in different ways. You will be studying a selection of modern and contemporary poems. In the second half of the course, you will study three plays, each of which introduces an important form of drama. Topics for consideration include dramatic structure, tragedy, comedy, characterization, theme, and expressionist theatre. Prerequisites: English Studies 12 or equivalent. Recommended: An English course at the 1000-level (such as ENGL 1001) that includes the study of fiction and composition. Note: This course satisfies the second half of the introductory English literature and composition requirement for degrees offered through TRU-OL. Students with credit for ENGL 1031 or 1029 may not take this course for further credit. Students with credit for ENGL 1011 may not take ENGL 1061 or ENGL 1999 for further credit in some. Students cannot get credit for more than one of ENGL 1031, CMNS 1811, FRAN 1210.
