ENGL 0221 - World Literature
Credits: 3
This course introduces the diverse yet underrepresented cultures and literatures from at least three geographical locations of the world to initiate a dialog around global understanding of history and human experience. This course will help students recognize literary figures, texts, themes, and movements within the given historical period(s) under study, identify literary genres and devices, and draw the connections between different themes and ideas presented in literature. Through a critical study of literary texts, either in English or in translation, this course will establish a foundation to promote intellectual growth by strengthening students’ abilities to think analytically and creatively about literature and by developing their sensitivity to cultural diversity. In addition to interpreting and synthesizing representative texts from different literary traditions, students will practice writing reflectively about literary texts and themes by applying the conventions of academic writing to create an essay that is rhetorically cohesive, sufficiently evidenced, and stylistically sound. Note: This course can be repeated if the themes and texts are different. Intended for all majors.
Prerequisites: ENGL 0101 and ENGL 0204 .
