Welcome

Welcome to the University of Pittsburgh's English Literature web site, devoted to the literature major, courses, and resources for majors and non-majors alike.

The English Literature Program at the University of Pittsburgh offers a range of challenging and enjoyable courses taught by established scholars and experienced teachers.  Beginning with a selection of introductory, writing-intensive 300-level courses, and continuing with more in-depth theme and genre courses at the 500 and

600 level, the program presents the more structured curriculum of the major, primarily at the 1000 level, in which the student focusing on Literature will receive a comprehensive grounding in literary history, periods, and genres, principles of criticism and literary theory, research methods, and approaches to writing about literature.
