ENGL 090 PZ -Special Topics In World Literature: Alienation & Exile in the Modern World

It is divided into 4 segments: 1) The Modern World, 2) World War II and Trauma, 3) Homelessness and Vagrancy, and 4) Postcolonial Literature. We will read and discuss novels, essays, short stories, plays, and poetry from around the world with a focus on textual analysis. We will study the cultural and historical context of each text, examine the methods the authors use to weave their tales, and explore critical theories that deepen our understanding of literature.
