Dialect speech and dialect writing have richly contributed to the breadth, variety, and authenticity of American and English literature. This course provides students with informed training in listening with a good ear and distinguishing between eye dialect and dialect is both accurately and artistically rendered, within an understanding of the tradition of dialect writing in fiction. Students keep a journal and research the ways in which writers employ dialect in their fiction as well as what they have to say about such uses, while also developing a facility with dialect in their own fiction writing.
