Some Anglo-American works may also be taught alongside literature of these other cultures for the purpose of placing them in context. | Topical Outline: | The choice and sequence of topics will vary from
instructor to instructor and semester to semester. The topics will
consist of selected works by various authors, to be read outside of

in the context of the times and the circumstances of their composition.
Students will write critical papers in response to the readings. | Honor Code Reference: | All academic work must meet the standards contained
in A Culture of Honesty. All students are responsible to inform
