Survey Approaches to Literature and Culture

Catalog description

This course introduces students to how surveys have been and continue to be important approaches for interpreting literature and culture. This course emphasizes how literary and cultural texts are often grouped and understood according to time period, geographical area, and or genre. It approaches the study of literature and culture through the lens of “traditions” and how texts are in conversation with those that have come before and those that are inspired to be produced in the future. May be repeated for credit when topics vary.
