Welcome to the W100 Wiki

This course provides an intensive introduction to the fundamental techniques of literary analysis. As we consider a broad selection of works from a range of periods and genres, we will explore various ways of approaching and investigating meaning in literary texts. We will develop our skills not only through collaborative critical analysis and discussion in class, but also through writing assignments and online exercises designed to cultivate the writing and research skills that will help you succeed as an English major.

See the syllabus for further details.
