More on Department
Introduction
Literature in English has a long history and is now produced
in many countries around the world. The Department of English offers a wide range of
courses which engage aspects of this vast subject: historical surveys, period courses,
courses in national literatures, and studies of genres and of individual authors, as well
as courses in the theory and practice of literary criticism. The Department's objective in
every course is to deepen the student's awareness and appreciation of a complex and
constantly evolving literary tradition. More broadly, studying English gives extensive
practice in the interpretation of texts, and develops skills of critical thinking,
analysis and expression that are required by all areas of research, business, and
professional activity, and that are essential to success both within and beyond
university.
Courses are arranged in four series. This gradation denotes
the amount of prior experience and the level of work expected. In the 100-series, the
emphasis falls on introducing students to the study of English at the university level.
The 200-series offers courses at both an introductory and an intermediate level. The 300-
and 400-series courses are more advanced.
English Programs provide students with different frameworks
within which to develop their knowledge of the field while balancing the demands of
breadth and depth. The Specialist Program is not designed to meet the specific
requirements for admission to any graduate program in English. Students interested in
proceeding to graduate study in English should seek appropriate advice on course
selection. Students considering a teaching career in Ontario should consult the Ontario
Institute for Studies in Education/UT. Students with questions about the requirements of
Minor, Major or Specialist Programs in English should consult the Office of the Associate
Chair.
The Department of English publishes an Undergraduate Brochure
each year which is usually available by mid-April. The Brochure provides detailed course
descriptions, reading lists for individual sections, and information concerning program
requirements and enrolment. The general policy of the Department is to regulate class size
to maintain optimal conditions for teaching and learning. Enrolment in many sections is
therefore limited. All students interested in taking an English course are urged to
consult the Undergraduate Brochure for detailed information.
