ENG 4310 - Seminar in Global Literature

This course offers students deep engagement with a body of literature outside the American and English literary traditions. The focus of the course is variable: it may focus on postcolonial literature, on the literature of a single writer or people-group, or on a historical or cultural theme. Students will read major works of fiction, poetry, or drama that challenge readers to see the perspective of the marginalized Other (those who have been politically or theoretically colonized), or of those whose culture and history are very different from their own. Readings have included those from formerly colonized people of Australia, Africa, Ireland, India; previously taught authors include Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz, Wole Soyinka, Salman Rushdie, Azar Nafizi, and others.
