English 1B is a
transfer-level literature course designed to familiarize or to
re-familiarize students with a number of aspects concerning literary
study. These include reading, responding, and writing about the major
literary types or genres: fiction (both short stories and novels),
poetry, drama, and non-fiction (short essays). Writers of various
countries and periods are read in order to encourage an understanding
and appreciation of literature’s history, range, artistry, and insight
into the human experience. In addition, this class will concentrate on
literary terms and critical approaches to enhance students’ skills in
writing essays of explication, analysis, comparison and contrast, and
literary research.

"The test of literature is, I suppose, whether
we ourselves live more intensely for the
reading of it."--Elizabeth Drew
"The function
of literature is precisely that it does incite humanity to
continue living."--Ezra Pound
"My whole theory of writing I can sum up in one sentence. An author
ought to write
for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the
schoolmasters of
ever afterward."--F. Scott Fitzgerald
