Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course focuses on the three major divisions of Indo-European epic that are frequently studied separately, but rarely treated together. These divisions - Classical European Epic, Christian European Epic, and Non-European Epic - are represented by three of the greatest literary achievements of all time: the Aeneid, the Divine Comedy, and the Mahabharata. We will look at these works individually and in relation to each other and to ourselves.
