In this course, you will read literature from around the world and continue to develop the skills of critical reading, writing, and discussion. You will practice reading with close attention and grounding interpretations in concrete textual detail. Discussion is central to this course and becomes increasingly student-directed. A variety of informal writing exercises will help you to continue to develop your ability to express yourself clearly, and you will write (and revise) both personal and analytical essays. Readings will explore multiple genres –– drama, fiction, poetry –– and a wide range of authors, cultivating your appreciation for the richness and diversity of literature from around the world and developing a global perspective.
