Contemporary Women’s Literature: A World View

Catalog description

3 Lecture Hour(s) 0 Lab Hour(s) This course is designed as an introduction to world literature focusing on the twentieth century and features literature from geographically and culturally diverse peoples. It is not intended to serve as a survey (historically or geographically) of world literature. This course allows students to work closely with a limited number of texts (poetry, fiction, essay and drama), which will reflect a view of world cultures from a decidedly feminist vantage point. The class will analyze how this literature is unique and similar to western literature. The class will view films and other works related to intercultural experiences and clashes.
