Classics in World
Literature
Intensive interactive seminar (suitable for
beginner to advanced students)
Whether you want to
broaden your literary horizons or revisit some old favorites, we invite
you to take part in an amazing journey that spans two centuries and four
continents. The diverse settings, plots, themes, and styles of six
of the world's great classics will provide the basis for rich discussion
of the different social, economic, political and cultural forces that
shape each work, and at the same time, help us to identify the common
threads of humanity that run through all of them. We will examine
the psychological, moral-philosophical, and mythical/archetypal/symbolic
significance of the works through the lenses of several different
schools of modern critical interpretation including Deconstruction,
Marxism, Feminism, New Historicism, Post-Structuralism, Reader-Response,
and Postcolonialism, as we work toward the goal of gaining greater
insight into the ways in which the forces of time and place shape and
mold both the individual and collective psyche. As we progress
through the course, we will also identify the recurring qualities that
elevate these particular works to the status of "classics".
