Students continue to develop skills in close critical reading comprehension and written composition through exploration and evaluation of the development of literary culture in Canada. Students critically and creatively evaluate influential authors and important literary movements that emerged circa 1700 to the present moment through reading representative genres, including exploration and travel narratives, settlement narratives, novels, poetry, and drama in their historical and cultural contexts. Students learn to critically and creatively interpret Canadian literary texts, applying a range of rhetorical strategies and diverse critical perspectives. They critically reflect on and articulate complexities of various perspectives, and assumptions employed by a broad range of writers. Students practice scholarly writing that illustrates grammatically-correct style and appropriate documentation skills. Prerequisite: 6 credits of first-year English (with the exception of ENGL 1150) or equivalent or permission of instructor or department Chair.
