ENG 154 - Landscape and Literature

Semester Hours: 4

English 154 examines the way writers have responded to the world-in this case specifically landscape. In poetry, fiction, and literary nonfiction, how does setting affect the story or content? “Ecology” is defined by Dictionary.com as “the branch of biology dealing with the relations and interactions between organisms and their environment, including other organisms.” In literature, we examine the same relations and interactions with different tools, perhaps, but with the same goal: to understand more about ourselves and our world. I would add that English 154 will include discussions of how we shape our world and how we are shaped by it.
