Bachelor of Arts: English Literature
Program Chair: Dr. Rita Dirks
As a discipline, English Literature studies literature and the
practice of writing to help students discover their own
ideas and articulate them as completely and cogently as
possible. The English Literature program provides students
with a strong foundation in literature, literary theory, and
writing. To ensure that students gain a comprehensive
understanding of English Literature, the program begins
with the British tradition and extends to the broader
realms of Canadian, American, and other literatures in
English. This approach covers foundational periods,
movements, and authors as well as contemporary
expressions of literature. The program aims for coverage
of English literary history not merely for completeness but
also to teach students to think, read and listen critically,
and to use language with clarity, judgment, and
imagination.
