Gain a new perspective on your favorite authors and discover new ones with a concentration in literature. In the literature concentration, you and your fellow students will explore literary works and their contexts, led by expert faculty who are innovative and committed teachers. Reading texts deeply, with an eye to the social and historical context in which they are created, will enhance your critical thinking and prepare you to untangle complex problems in any field you pursue after college. The poetry, fiction, essays, films, and plays we study offer rich sources of meaning that help us better understand the human condition as we work through them in class.
