(3,0) 3 Credits

Prerequisite(s): ENGL 111 - English Composition I .
Students in World Literature Since the Renaissance read representative works of great literature from the Romantic period to the present in the forms of novels, poems, and plays from around the world. Authors come from Europe, the Americas, India, Russia, and Africa. The class may confront such questions as the following: What is the relationship between literature and history? What is the role of the individual in a world with shifting beliefs in God or the gods? In addition, the class may examine the possible biases that make us unable (or less able) to appreciate literature from cultures not our own.
