ENGL 2305

Students will read literature outside of the Euro-American canon in order to expand their understanding of what literature encompasses and to explore the narratives, identities, borders, and biases that formulate our worldviews. By critically analyzing literary and cultural texts in English (or translation) from at least three regions around the world and from a variety of genres, students will refine their literary analysis and research skills and practice cross-cultural engagement. While developing a greater appreciation of the field of World Literature, students will study diverse forms of expression and will consider issues such as colonialism and imperialism.
