ENG-318 Prize Books
This course will examine British books in recent
decades that have figured prominently in major
literary competitions, exploring the role these
awards play in shaping literary tastes and
publishing trends. Readings will include a number
of short-listed and prize-winning books, book

contests. Throughout the semester, we will
consider the place these books may assume in
future assessments and studies of the most
influential and significant books of our
era.(Literature Seminars)
