WLIT 101 - Introduction to World Literature

4 credits
This course introduces students to the comparative study of works of literature from various cultures, read in English translation. We consider diversity of place, social context, politics, history, genre, tradition, and literary movements. We look at literature in relation to its original cultural context and also at the way books communicate to other cultures and to us. The works, cultures, and thematic emphasis will vary from year to year. This course will be team-taught with instructors from different departments. Students may with permission read works in the original language. CLA-Breadth/Humanities, CLA-Diversity International, CLA-Writing Intensive
