3.00 Credits
This 3000-level course analyzes Western imaginative writing in the context of world literature. The course thus assesses thematic concerns of the Western canon (by writers such as Keats, Tolstoy, Hoffman), and of those in literature less often represented in literary assessments -- works from the Middle East, the Far East, Africa, and Latin America by writers such as Tagore, Achebe, Garcia Marquez, and so on. The course, consequently, examines individual works of art as both a specific and singular meditation (upon a theme, topic, situation) and a response to predecessors and to contemporaries. In its evaluation of aesthetic and ethical concerns, the course emphasizes the permeability of cultures and broadens the student's sense of literary traditions. Students shall submit three written assignments as well as take unannounced quizzes, a midterm and a final examination on the assigned readings and lectures. Prerequisites: ENGL1001, ENGL1003, and SOCI1001 or Junior status.
