While covering all the phases and styles of English literature from Beowulf to Beckett and Milton to Mamet, the Dickinson English department is distinguished by two special concentrations: its focus on English literature from around the world - the writing of post-colonial African, Caribbean, Indian, and Latino/Chicano writers in English - and its emphasis on different methods of interpretation such as close reading, historical interpretation, psychological interpretation, and feminist and Marxist criticism. In a year-long senior experience - consisting of a seminar plus a writing workshop - majors write a 50-page essay on a theme of their choosing, in the process growing as independent thinkers and writers. In addition, the department offers a popular program in creative writing, including a creative writing minor for majors in any field. | |||
