EN 2960 - Journeys, Voyages, and Quests
(3)
From Homer’s The Odyssey and Wu Ch’êng-ên’s Monkey to Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart and Jesmyn Ward’s Sing, Unburied, Sing, journeys, voyages, and quests have thematically structured literary works, enabling readers to venture abroad, experience new worlds, and reflect on what they and the characters have learned along the way. This course explores journey narratives from around the world from within a framework that includes instruction in writing about literature, compares cultures and historical periods, and invites consideration of both what is shared among cultures and what is unique about the culture from which each text emerged. With emphasis on critical thinking, reading, and writing, the course examines several major genres of literature and studies themes, forms, and styles in the literary texts.
Core Curriculum: (HC, HCL)
