ENG 226 - World Literatures: Topics

This course examines topics in literature from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Australia and Oceania, Europe, and the Americas. The topic for each session may vary. Instructors will select authors from different periods to demonstrate how various ideologies, genres, genders, classes, and times have dealt with questions posed by the relationship between literature and the topic. Analysis will stress both works’ intrinsic values and their contributions to world cultures. Lectures and presentations will be given on historical, cultural, and intellectual background. Course may be taken more than once for credit under different topics.
