ENLT 323J - (CL) Classics of Western Literature I

3 cr.

This SJLA course surveys a tradition concerned with the individual, family, and society from classical Greece (Homer, Aeschylus, Plato) to Shakespeare and thence to the Post-Colonial (Joyce, Woolf, Morrison). Readings explore the culmination of epic and dramatic modes in modern fiction. The emphasis is inductive, within cultural and theoretical contexts.
