This course attempts to provide the student with an opportunity for exploring literature as a social phenomenon. Specific areas to be dealt with might include: 1) the relationship of the artist to his social structure; 2) the nature of the relationship of the work and its audience; 3) the attitudes toward the social structure implicit in the work of art. In general the course is viewed as an attempt to combine both the scientific approach and the humanistic approach to literature. Here literature is viewed as including both belles lettres and popular culture. The course will be taught by someone in sociology and someone in literature in dialogue method. Prerequisite: Sociology 101*/102* and a first year English course. (Not offered in 1972-73) 339* Contemporary British Literature
