LTT 2800 - Great Works of Literature I

Institution:

CUNY Bernard M Baruch College

Subject:

Literature in Translation

Description:

4 hours; 3 credits This course presents a global approach to literature by introducing a variety of narrative, lyric, and dramatic forms representative of different cultures and historical periods, from ancient times through the 16th century. Specific choices depend upon the preference of the instructor, but every class studies examples of epic poetry, sacred texts, medieval narrative, and classical and Renaissance drama. Discussions involve both close reading of selected texts and comparison of the values the texts promote. Students engage in a variety of communication-intensive activities designed to enhance their appreciation of literature and their awareness of the way it shapes and reflects a multicultural world. (This course is equivalent to ENG 2800. Students will receive credit for either ENG 2800 or LTT 2800, not both. These courses may not substitute for each other in the F grade replacement policy.) Prerequisite: ENG 2150 or equivalent. LTT 2800 (ENG 2800) may be used to satisfy the literature requirement of the base curriculum.
