ENG 1500 Introduction to Literature
(formerly ENG 150)
Students will study literature from various historical periods and cultural traditions in order to gain a more global perspective. For this course, that perspective is defined as the ability to examine, negotiate and interrelate critically the differences between historical periods and cultures. With that perspective, the class is consequently able to draw sharper insights into the ethical implications of social conflicts, diversity, national identity and assimilation. By studying literature in this global context, students learn to write papers that are deeply informed by their class reading, their research, and their personal reflections on these issues. Exposure to and exploration of poetry and drama both as literature and as meaningful experience. (Genre course.)
