English (ENGL) 335

Overview

Comparative Literature I introduces students to some of the major works of world literature by examining texts which transcend the boundaries of language, culture, and nationality. One of the assumptions of the comparative approach is that literary traditions continue to exist, in one form or another, throughout history, and in various languages and parts of the world.

Comparative Literature I focuses on works from Greek, Medieval, and Renaissance literature, and is complemented by ENGL 336 which examines more recent works in various media.
