Objectives |
This course aims at introducing students to English and American literature, including the classical and the contemporary literature. It covers literary works over a time span of more than two thousand years (i.e. Greek and Roman literature). Besides ancient literary history, the main frames are the development of western literature, the major literary genres—mythology, epic, drama, poetry and novel, and the studies of comparative literature. The ultimate purpose is for the students to become not only familiar with the major texts of western literature but also appreciative of the cultural cultivation of English and American literature. |
