EWL 112 World Literature in Context
Literature offers readers the chance to immerse themselves in a world that is not their own, articulated through language yet removed from them by time, space, or experience. In this course, students immerse themselves in one literary world for the entire semester, analyzing the language and literary conventions used in a single literary work, exploring the cultural and historical references embedded in and influencing the text, and researching and discussing the questions raised by the text. All works will be read in English.
