Course Descriptions
Fall 2008
Introduction
This booklet contains descriptions of the undergraduate courses offered by the English Department in the Fall 2008 semester. This information, used in conjunction with the Hofstra University Bulletin, will enable you to make more informed decisions when choosing your courses. In addition to the courses described here, qualified students may take tutorials in the subjects of their choice, with the permission of a supervising faculty member and the chair.
Advanced undergraduates with outstanding records may also take a graduate course, with the permission of the instructor and the chair.
As these pages reveal, the English Department is offering an extraordinarily wide and stimulating range of courses in the fields of literature, creative writing, language studies, and publishing. If you entered Hofstra before the fall semester of 1995 and are still satisfying the requirements of the old major, please consult the chair of the department, in order to learn how to use elective courses to satisfy the specific requirements of the English and American literature concentrations of the old major.
