English Literature BA

The English Literature Program exposes students to a wide spectrum of cultural, literary, and critical perspectives in English and other literatures.

Why We Love Literature and What It Teaches Us
To study literature is to engage in a fundamental human endeavor: to tell a story. We listen or read in wonder as a story unfolds, asking critical questions about the meaning.

Long ago, stories helped people imagine their relationship to the cosmos as they huddled around a fire, and other stories communicated effective strategies for hunting. Today, too, literature grants us insights into the human condition.Lit. Books

Characters come alive in the theaters of our minds, and we ponder how we share their decisions and losses and triumphs, too. A poem leaves us stunned with beauty or moved by an evocation of pain. A play comes alive and touches us with its magic as we marvel over how words written long ago are imagined anew.

The extraordinary power of literature to stretch our everyday language and open up new possibilities teaches us what it means to be human. To engage in this vibrant world of words and wisdom makes our own lives more rich and full.
