ENGL 1004 - Banned Books (3 Cr.) Literature
Course description
Is reading dangerous? What do books "do" to readers that is insidious and must be stopped? In this course, we will begin with the three books currently banned most frequently in the US. While the class will touch on the long international history of book banning, in this course you will learn primarily about the recent history of book banning in the US. You will also learn concepts and terminology regarding literary studies. "Why was this banned?" is the question that will reverberate through every week of this course.
