ENGL 2400 - World Literature I
3 cr. 3 hr. Day course offered every Semester. Also offered evenings.
This course presents a selection of major works from around the world, from ancient/classical traditions up to the 16th century. We examine shifts from oral to literate transmissions of various genres, including wisdom literature, epic and lyric poetry, drama, and narrative. Focus is on the Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman foundations of Western literature, and on the Confucian, Hindu/Sanskrit, Buddhist, and Islamic underpinnings of literary traditions in Asia and the Middle East. The course examines the multiple, equally valid ways that different cultural and literary traditions respond to human experience. ART, GDAN, LIT
