HUM 201 MAJOR WORKS OF LITERATURE
This course examines major works of literature from around the world, introducing key literary traditions, movements, and developments in world literature. Spanning texts from the Ancient World to Postmodernism, the course is organized into four modules: epic poetry, drama, the novel, and the short story. Each module highlights one or multiple texts that exemplify their genre and era, inviting students to explore their historical, intellectual, and sociocultural contexts.
Through poetry, prose, and drama, students will engage with diverse cultures and periods while developing skills in textual analysis, critical thinking, and thoughtful interpretation via an extensive focus on reading, discussion, and writing. The course cultivates a cross-cultural understanding of the universal human condition, investigating how literary works reflect and shape human values within their historical and social contexts. By emphasizing the connections between literature, culture, and humanity, this course aims to broaden students’ understanding of world literature, enhance their critical thinking skills, and improve their ability to engage with literary texts on a deeper level.
