ENG 241 - World Literature II

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

English

Description:

This course continues the balanced, selective study of great representative literary works from the Renaissance to the present day in their geographic, historic, socio-economic, and political contexts. Attention is given to genres, writing styles, and applicable critical approaches. The "emerging" literatures--works by women, colonials, post-colonials and those groups generally denied a voice--are studied in an attempt to enlarge the cannon and render it inclusive. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Identify and discuss major writers and their influences in and contributions to world literature; Discuss dominant themes/genres/writing styles in the established and emerging literatures; Identify major historical and philosophical influences of modern life as they are represented in literary artifacts; Demonstrate in discussions and writing an awareness of the struggle of writers of the emerging literatures to find a voice, an audience, and a hearing; Respond to the writers and literature encountered in the form of critical, analytical, and/or argumentative multi-source essays that employ current information literacy techniques and apply correct MLA documentation.
