ENGLISH
The Literature and Languages Department offers a traditional English major, for which the culminating experience is the presentation of a Senior Seminar paper to a committee of peers and faculty. In addition to a range of period courses in American and English literature, various genres, courses on individual writers, and upper level composition courses, faculty teach special topics courses, such as Detective Fiction, Literary Revision, C. S. Lewis, Rhetoric and Power, Dante, Baseball in Literature, Literary Nonfiction, Classics in Translation, the Contemporary Gothic Novel, Flannery O’Connor, and the Vietnam War and Literature. Many English majors and faculty are involved in English Club activities, which has sponsored events such as High Tea and participated in a marathon reading of John Milton’s Paradise Lost, the Pre-Law Club, and the English honor society, Sigma Tau Delta.
