The curriculum description outlines how the major develops critical reading, argument framing, writing mechanics, style, research skills, and close reading using literary terminology and critical approaches. Course offerings include ENGL 185 Critical Reading and Writing, and ENGL 202–206, which explore topics from horror and supernatural fear to masculinity in American culture, disability and its historical meaning, and modern romance heroines and genre development.","English 1  \nENGLISH   \nFaculty: Cadwallader, Chair; Clabough, Cull, Smith, and Volpicelli.  \nThrough the study and creation of literature, English majors can deepen their understanding of human nature, society, and history, while at the same time honing their powers of expression. The major thus caters toa wide variety of students, from those with a lifelong love of language and reading, to those who write poetry and fiction, to those eager to understand how language may be used to entertain, move, or persuade. English majors inevitably spend much time thinking and writing about the stuff of literature—abiding matters such as love, death, and power—but the insights they will take away about the wellsprings of human action, along with the skill to promote their views forcefully, have repeatedly shown themselves valuable in an array of professions as various as law, advertising, teaching, and politics.  \n• English Major ([https://catalog.rmc.edu/programs/english/english](https://catalog.rmc.edu/programs/english/english)major/)  \n• English Minor ([https://catalog.rmc.edu/programs/english/english](https://catalog.rmc.edu/programs/english/english)minor/)  \nENGL 185 -Critical Reading and Writing (4 Hours)  \nThis course provides an intensive introduction to all of the skills that go into good writing: critical reading, framing arguments for different audiences, mechanics, style, and research. The seminar must be taken during a student's first year at the College. The core curriculum will ask students to continue to refine their writing, but this course lays the foundation for the kinds of writing expected of students throughout college.  \nENGL 202 -Midnight Tales (3 Hours)  \nAmbrose Bierce once defined the ghost as \"an outward and visible sign of an invisible fear\" He might have said the same of any number of other supernatural creatures: vampires, zombies, werewolves, that thing you thought you saw out of the corner of your eye the other night when you were up late and the house was quiet   But are all of these creatures manifestations of the same fear? What is it we are so afraid of, anyway? These are questions we will attempt to answer in this course, through reading, discussing, and writing about a range of horrifying poems, short stories, and novels. We will also practice our close reading skills and become familiar with literary terminology and critical approaches to reading.  \nCurriculum: HC, HU,WA  \nENGL 203 -Boys Don't Cry (3 Hours)  \nThis course examines the diverse (and sometimes conflicting) representations of masculinity in American literary culture. Taking as its material both \"classic\" and contemporary texts, this course aims to introduce students to the ways in which masculinity has been represented by both male and female authors, exploring not only how authors construct notions of masculinity based on the social and historical circumstances that surrounded them, but also how these notions continue to affect our present-day understanding of what it means to \"be a man \" In this course, we work to expose the interpretive possibilities contained in even the most seemingly straightforward depictions of \"manliness\" (such as in texts like Hemingway's \"Hills like White Elephants\") while also searching for more subtle explorations of alternative masculinities. Along the way, we'll ask key questions about what have long been considered to be the developmental \"touchstones\"of a masculine identity: how is boyhood and masculine adolescence represented in literary culture? How are men depicted against backdrops of violence and war? How are men represented as they navigate relationships (familial, friendly, and romantic)? Students in this course will have the unique opportunity to be introduced to the work of textual interpretation through a cultural and theoretical lens, all the while investigating—and challenging—their own notions of masculinity.
