Introduction to Modern Canadian Literature

English 202 is a survey of Canadian Literature from the 20th and 21st Century. In this course, students learn about the important themes and ideological concerns of Canadian Literature in the genres of poetry and prose. As part of the course, students read work from English-Canadian writers, as well as the works of some French Canadian writers may be included in translation. They will also study the work of some Indigenous Canadian writers. Because literary analysis is an important element of Canadian Literary studies, students will be introduced to some of the leading critics in the field.
