Description:

This course examines ancient and modern texts from a variety of cultures.

Some attention is given to the terminology basic to literary study, to the differences between reading for comprehension and reading for pleasure, and to the place of literature in a well-rounded education. The course is designed for students without prior coursework in literature. Prerequisite: COSK1221
