Prerequisites/Notes: Junior standing or ENG 230, or consent of the instructor. Catalog Description : Clarissa (1748) is one of the longest novels in English, and we're going to read every single beautiful word of it. Its sheer density and complexity mean that, as author Amy Gentry puts it, Richardson's messy #metoo tale "breaks and renews itself over thousands of pages." Required: short writings, short research presentation, critical synthesis. PREREQUISITES: Junior standing or ENG 230, or consent of the instructor. Attributes: GER Humanities Div, 400-599 Advanced Course
