 English, General Literature, and Rhetoric Home Page
Although English and American literature and the practice of creative and expository writing are primary, the department conceives of neither literature nor writing in a narrow or parochial way.
General literature courses deal broadly with genres, themes, and masterpieces of world literature; creative writing courses foster, in qualified students, the development of serious creativity; rhetoric courses deal both with the theory and practice of communication as well as the history and masterpieces of oral and written argument.
Majors in literature and rhetoric are urged to take courses in related fields outside the department, complementing and rounding out the literature and rhetoric courses in the major.

 Kurt Vonnegut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
His background at GE influenced his first novel, the dystopian science fiction novel Player Piano (1952), in which human workers have been largely replaced by machines.
He continued to write science fiction short stories before his second novel, The Sirens of Titan, was published in 1959.
Through the 1960s the form of his work changed, from the orthodox science fiction of Cat's Cradle (which in 1971 got him his master's degree) to the acclaimed, semiautobiographical Slaughterhouse-Five, given a more experimental structure by using time travel as a plot device.

To sum up, therefore, it was conclusively demonstrated that the literature occupied a virtually preeminent place as source of applied research information, regardless of either the status or formal training of those in the sample, a place shared only by the personal contacts with other workers in their field.
QUESTIONS 15/20: LITERATURE SEARCHING HABITS The scientists were next asked how they usually obtained their references to the literature they read—whether for a particular paper, or for a collection of references on some particular subject.
It was, however, noted that of the 33% reading “for general interest,” two-thirds of it consisted of articles from periodicals, the reading of which, by the very nature of a periodical, would be likely to bring more incidental or extraneous matter under notice than is the case with other forms of publication.

 Nobel Prize in Literature 1959 - Presentation Speech
Admittedly, many restless years of travel were to pass before he became conscious of his talent and began to find his way in the classical heritage that was his.
In due course, however, his studies were to show their influence in his great contribution as a translator of the literature of classical antiquity which now forms the homogeneous background of his own work as one of the foremost poets in the Italian language.
There can hardly be any doubt that his strict classical education acted as a stimulus, not to servile imitation, but to energetic self-discipline in the use of language and the achievement of artistic style.
