This core course is the second part in a two-part series of courses that traces the development of Western literature from the ancient to the modern period, focusing on the Great Works of poetry and drama. The works are read both for their intrinsic literary value and as they affect and represent their particular cultures, the broader Western culture, and universal human experience and understanding. Through reading and discussing Great Works, students will learn and employ the basic terms and modes of interpretation used in literary criticism.
