ENGL 6773
What is a Humanistic Criticism?

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

This course is structured as an investigation of the roots, parameters, and characteristic features of the modern concept of the humanities. We will be reading several kinds of texts: foundational texts that establish the abiding concerns and methods of the disciplines, exemplary texts that stand as models for scholarly practice, descriptive texts that try to articulate and justify the humanities, and marginal texts that test the boundaries of the humanities. Within the humanities, we will be considering history, literary study, and art history and criticism. We will conclude by considering challenges to the humanities presented by "posthumanism," and by digital technology.

When Offered Fall.
