World Literature 2

ENGL 2112 • Macon State College

ENGL 2112, World Literature II, examines national literatures other than those of Britain and America from the Renaissance to the present. Particular emphasis is placed on western literature, especially continental, Russian, and Latin American fiction of the 19th and 20th centuries. World Lit II will explore texts — poems, novels, novellas, plays, and short stories — in their historical and cultural contexts as well as consider how those texts still inform our views of ourselves today.

Since we have only a limited time in this survey, we will concentrate on both diversity of texts explored and the detail of that exploration. Texts include those by Voltaire, Pushkin, Dostoyevsky, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Ibsen, Mann, and Borges, among others.

The Humanities Index is a companion site to the study of world literature. You should always begin your research there; I recommend that if you cite any secondary sources from the web, you should make at least one of them from HumX.
