• Develop the skills appropriate to research and effective writing in the Humanities
• Use the tools of analysis to respond to specific works of literature
• Become familiar with literary theory

Much of the world’s great literature explores the relationship of the individual to society. Some literary works depict the individual in harmony with society while others describe the individual in conflict with society or leaving society behind altogether. In this course we will read and respond to works from a range of time periods and national literary traditions in order to assess how writers have depicted the individual’s relationship to society. In this course, students also will be introduced to literary theory and to essays about literature and society to better contextualize the discussions about the literary works themselves.
