Great Works of Literature II

Catalog description

This course presents a global approach to literature by introducing a variety of narrative, lyric, and dramatic forms representative of different cultures and historical periods, from the seventeenth century to the present. Specific choices depend upon the preference of the instructor, but every class studies examples of fantasy and satire, Romantic poetry, modern plays, and a broad range of narratives. Discussions involve both close reading of selected texts and comparison of the values the texts promote. Students engage in a variety of communication-intensive activities designed to enhance their appreciation of a multicultural world. This course is equivalent to ENG 2850. Students will receive credit for either ENG 2850 or CMP 2850, not both. The courses may not substitute for each other in the F grade replacement policy.
