ENG 132 - World Literature II

Institution:

Gustavus Adolphus College

Subject:

Description:

In this course we shall be reading world literature written from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries. The texts will be appreciated as works of literary art and also as expressions of the times and cultures out of which they arose. During this time period, Europe was not only concerned with its own internal affairs but was actively discovering and dominating other peoples around the world in what has come to be known as the colonial era. Beyond reading some seminal works that came out of this Western experience, we shall also study works from Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Lastly, we shall consider some texts that reflect and interrogate the globalization of contemporary world literature and culture. LARS, NWEST, Spring semester, even years.
