ENGLISH 586: The Rhetoric of Literature


3


A rhetorical approach analyzes literature as a persuasive device.  In this course, students will read a variety of literary works and discuss the personal and social viewpoints and biases that these works reveal; explore theoretical and psychological studies of the nature of narrative as a discursive act; and discuss the rhetorical power of literature as compared with other forms of discourse that are more commonly thought of as 'rhetorical.'  386/586
