ENGL 231 — Maine Women Writers
From Sally Wood (Maine’s first novelist) to Monica Wood (no relation), women writers have influenced the cultural, political, and creative landscape of Maine. In turn, these same writers often claim that their sense of place helped to form their voices and identities. In this course, students will explore this connection of place and identity, through in -depth reading of primary sources of ficti on, nonfiction, and poetry, as well as investigative research into primary sources through UNE’s Maine Women Writers’ Collection. Students also have an opportunity to plan, organize, and present a panel of contemporary writers from Maine. This course is designated as writing -intensive (WI), with substantial attention to the research writing process and revision. Prerequisite(s): ENGL-100 or ENGL-101 Corequisite(s): ENGL-115
