ENGL 3705
Serial Stories: Television and the Novel

Course information provided by the 2020-2021 Catalog.

The past two decades have seen a whole new kind of television: long, multi-plot narratives spun out over many seasons. Some producers have made use of this serial mode to offer complex and inventive models of social analysis. These often share goals with the serial storytelling of the past, including cartoons and novels, and draw on similar strategies. We will watch such series as The Wire and Russian Doll, and we will read serialized fictions, including Wilkie Collins' page-turner, The Woman in White and Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City. First-year students and non-majors welcome.
