Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

This course will introduce concentrators to the field of Comparative Literature. It will be divided into four segments, each with an articulation of some (not all) of the basic types of comparative work undertaken in this department. Specifically, we will examine the growth of a world literature, the emergence of a fictionalized geography of the novel, the vexed relationship of word and image, and the importance of theories and methods of translation to comparative literature. We will also focus upon the preparation of junior papers and the eventual choice of a thesis topic.
