Introduction

To study literature is to engage, through the medium of the written word, with some of history’s most creative and articulate minds as they contemplate fundamental and persistent questions: What does it mean to be an individual in society? What is the purpose of art? What is the significance of human endeavor, and what are the limits of human experience? As a student in the English program you will be introduced to the literary tradition in English, a fascinating conversation spanning over a thousand years and connecting nations and peoples all across the globe. In addition, you will be trained in methods of critical reading and writing which will help you not only to comprehend, but also to grapple with, the complexity of texts and of the authors and societies that produce them. The skills acquired by students of English are directly applicable to any career that requires critical thinking and analysis—from education to government, law to engineering, business to medicine, and beyond. Perhaps just as valuably, the study of English will provide you with models and tools for discovering and articulating your own complex perspective on art, history, society, and your relation to all three.

The Department of English offers courses in Canadian and Indigenous North American literature; in American and transnational literatures; in the national and diasporic English literatures of Africa, the Caribbean, and South Asia; in British literature from its origins to the present day; and in the critical and theoretical literature through which literary critics and philosophers have developed vocabulary and methods for describing the forms, histories, and ideologies of literary art.

English courses are arranged in four series. Courses in our 100 series introduce students, in large lectures, to the study of English literature through sweeping surveys: of the literary tradition from Homer through the 19th century; of literature written in direct response to the events of recent decades; or of narrative forms in many genres and historical periods. Most 100-series courses include small-group tutorials, where students are introduced to critical reading and writing skills; essays at the 100 level typically do not require research or secondary sources. Courses in the 200 series are devoted to the study of literature in a specific genre, or the literature of a specific place or people. Coursework at the 200 level may require some research or engagement with critical literature on the subject. 300-series courses focus on particular literary periods, on diasporic literatures, and on special topics within a literature or literary genre. Courses at this level introduce students to research skills and typically require essays that incorporate secondary sources. Courses in the 400 series are both advanced and focused—unique courses created by Department faculty which often relate to their own research. These courses require a substantial research essay.

The Department of English offers several Programs of Study. The Specialist is the most intensive and comprehensive, requiring a minimum of ten full-course equivalents (FCE) in a 20-FCE degree. The Major is the Department’s most popular program. It provides both depth and breadth to students who wish to focus on English studies but also wish to leave room in their degrees to pursue other interests. The Minor is the Department’s second-most popular program, and can be combined with Majors or Specialists in a wide variety of other fields. On the presumption that the Minor is a curiosity-driven program, Minors are exempt from the distribution requirements of the Specialist and Major.

Students with questions about English Programs should consult the Office of the Associate Chair or the Undergraduate Counsellor. Students interested in graduate school in English should seek advice on course selection from their professors, academic counsellors, and the Office of the Director of Graduate Studies. Students considering a teaching career in Ontario should consult the admission counsellors at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/UT.

The Department of English publishes detailed course descriptions and reading lists online, usually by the beginning of May. Students are urged to consult these course descriptions at www.english.utoronto.ca before enrolment begins.
