Section Info: This section of ENGL 109 approaches the critical analysis of prose fiction by considering that most fictitious of modern genres: fantasy. Detaching fiction from realism will allow us to focus primarily on storytelling: while the content of fantastic narratives bears a relation to lived experience, it does so in crooked fashion, calling attention to the formal elements from which stories are made. After all, fantastic worlds only come into being through authors? deployment of narrative strategies such as plot, character, and point of view. Our texts are a mix of short and long narratives: stories by Lord Dunsany, Robert E. Howard, Angela Carter, and Kelly Link; novels by J. R. R. Tolkien, Patricia A. McKillip, China Mi�ville, and Ursula K. Le Guin. Because this course satisfies the Comp II requirement, we?ll also devote ample time in and out of class to the tactics and techniques of critical prose. Chief among these are peer review and revision of drafts. This course fulfills the campus Advanced Composition requirement.
