HU 428 - Classics in Western Literature3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
This course examines the development of major periods in literature, starting with the first writings that evolved out of the ancient oral tradition and continuing into the Renaissance. The course concentrates on well-known writings that represent the early social and literary evolution of the Mediterranean Basin and Western civilization. The course will be divided into three major divisions: Ancient literature (Gilgamesh, Homer, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Plato, Virgil, etc.), Middle Ages literature (Beowulf, Dante, Chaucer, etc.), and Renaissance literature (Petrarch, Erasmus, Machiavelli, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Milton, etc.). In addition to the reading done as a group, students are required to conduct an individual research project. The individual projects will demonstrate a thorough investigation (secondary research and personal insight) of a specific piece of pre-Renaissance literature (preferably something not discussed as a class).
