Knodt教授
当我们称一篇文章为“文学”时,我们是什么意思? Probably most of us think we know 什么 the word means. 然而, 近年来,小说和非小说之间的界限变得模糊了,and new forms like graphic novels have emerged, so we are not certain exactly 什么 “literature” is. 当代小说家弗朗辛·普罗斯为我们讲述了小说的优点, 写下它“可以让我们确切地感受到生活在另一个时代是什么样子, in another culture; it’s easier for a novel than for even the most incisive biography or historical study to make the reader experience the subject from the inside.” 英语阅读201, we will read a variety of 小说, 诗歌, 和戏剧,试图从内部体验其他角色和文化. We’ll explore 如何 we, as individual readers from different backgrounds, read literary texts, and 如何 writers may help us to read their texts.
