====Catalogue Description ====
Reading and critical appreciation of various types of literature, such as autobiography, drama, film, novel, poetry, and specialized genres such as Travel Literature Liberal Education Goal Area 6.
This section of ENGL2250: Understanding Literature focuses on travel literature - in our case, recently published, brief narratives rather than novel-length narratives. About half of the works we're reading are published in the US, the other half in Britain. We'll also be reading a longer, book-length travel narrative, one combines an account of travel in Australia and the US with accounts of travel in the very young Internet, titled //Hello World//, from 2004.
Travel narrative is a popular genre, and, to our benefit as readers, pretty loosely defined. It presents a variety of ways of recording what people see and do when they are out of their comfortable space; it presents a variety of ways of making sense of the world, a variety of ways of understanding the self, and, when it's well done, travel narrative makes for some interesting reading.

This section of ENGL2250: Understanding Literature focuses on travel literature - in our case, recently published, brief, essay-length narratives. About half were published in the US, the other half in Britain. We'll also have a look at a longer travel narrative, that combines an account of travel in Australia and the US with accounts of travel in the very young Internet, titled //Hello World//.
