Instruction in British and American literature ranges from freshman courses on major authors to a senior tutorial for English majors. The freshman humanities courses introduce students to significant genres, different periods, and basic techniques of literary interpretation.

English offers a wide range of courses in British and American literature, from Chaucer to post-World War II American fiction and film. Although some courses are devoted to traditional periods — the English Renaissance, the British romantics, and 18th-century America — most courses focus on authors, genres, and themes. Prose fiction, the students' favorite genre, is studied most extensively: a three-term survey of the British novel from its origins to the present; Austen, the Brontës, and Woolf; Gothic fiction; 19th-century American women's novels; Twain and his contemporaries; James and Wharton; American novels, 1917-40; and modern European fiction. Thematic courses study 20th-century narratives of American assimilation and European colonial encounters from Columbus to the present. We also offer one-term courses on Chaucer, Milton, and Melville, a three-term survey of European drama from the Middle Ages to Beckett, and a two-term course on Shakespeare.

Majors who wish to study subjects not offered in regular courses can work independently with a faculty member.
