ENG 114 - Banned Books Behaving Badly


Banned books often push societal boundaries by exploring complex, realistic, topical, or taboo topics. Although many of these literary works eventually become classics in the English canon, they are usually first labeled as forbidden, transgressive, provocative, or vulgar. As a result, this course explores sexuality, violence, substance abuse, genocide, and racism. Students will engage in a variety of banned texts to help them cultivate skills and methods of rhetorical analysis.  For English majors, this course satisfies the C-2 requirement.
