ENGL 235 - The Classics: World Literature I

Institution:

Nichols College

Subject:

English

Description:

We begin our reading of ancient literature by learning the way people lived 2000 years before Christ and discovering that little has changed since then. Time-tested works like the epics of Homer and the Greek plays reinforce the fact that we can learn from these ancient texts to live our own lives more wisely. The advent of Christianity changed the way the West looked at life; but medieval literature, while serious in its mission to teach Christian views, is filled with fun and fantasy."
