What might it mean to speak of “the modern tradition”? What does that include and exclude? And how does it matter to us today? How does the modern tradition help us understand about concepts such as authorship, originality, literacy, and literary excellence? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings of representative texts of Western literature in translation from the seventeenth century through the present, including some interactions of the European traditions with modern African, Latin American, or Asian literatures. Authors may include Racine, Goethe, Flaubert, Dostoevsky, Rilke, Solzhenitsyn, Duras, Lispector, and Achebe. This course satisfies both the Integrations in the Humanities and the Global Perspectives core requirements as well as a WAC Writing to Learn requirement, This course also fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement for English with a Literature Emphasis and English with a Creative Writing Emphasis majors, a literature requirement for English with Professional Writing Emphasis majors, and one of two options for English with Secondary Education Emphasis majors.. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.
