Writing Intimacy

(2 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course investigates how literature can articulate intimacy but also how reading and writing are as such intimate practices and experiences that are crucial in defining the self. It proposes to look at two major works of the English and or American canon side by side with personal and intimate forms of writing, such as memoirs, diaries, letters and a variety of what we refer to as egodocuments, but also lyrical poetry.
