ENGL 2500 - World Literature II

3 cr. 3 hr. Day course offered in the Spring. Also offered evenings.

This course examines a selection of major works from the mid-17th century to the present. We cover a wide span of cultures, narratives and genres from the onset of modernity to the present, as we move from the literatures of China to Europe and modern Japan, South Asia and other locales. By setting up various cultures in conversation with each other, students understand the ways in which modernity shapes itself through considerations of gender, class and race narratives.
