Prerequisites, Notes & Instructor
- Section Notes: Far from being "just" aesthetic, literary works are very often trying to convince us of something, and sometimes, that something is really surprising. This class will read rhetorical (i.e., persuasive) writing in multiple genres reflecting diverse interests and points of view. As we learn about the strategies authors have used to try to sway us, we'll be learning about fringe cultural movements that have occasionally been lost to history - but more often ended up shaping mainstream perspectives. ;
