Introduction to Literary Studies
[ hum ] ENG 1a-1 fulfills the Post-1800 requirement in fall 2017. Topic for fall 2017: Modern Literature and the Problem of Evil. This course takes a fresh look at the study of Anglophone literature by exploring how a variety of authors and genres confront the problem of evil in the modern world, from Elizabethan drama to graphic novels and film. We'll practice using several influential literary theories to make sense of what we read and see. Texts include the Book of Job, King Lear, Paradise Lost, Robinson Crusoe, Art Spiegelman's Maus, and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things. |
