Contemporary CanLit (1960-Now)

0.5 credits · Undergraduate

We explore critical, historical, aesthetic, and sociological contexts of the emergence of CanLit. Focusing on Anglophone cultural production since 1960, we read literary works alongside political speeches, government documents, visual artifacts, popular culture, and essays to explore how Canadians have formed and transformed a national literature over the last fifty years. Prerequisite: 4.0 university credits. Students may take only one of ENGL 3502Y or 3503H for credit.
