World Literature at Auburn
An essential part of the University Core Curriculum, the World Literature sequence is required of every Auburn student. In the two courses (ENGL 2200 and 2210 or the honors sequence 2207 and 2217) students explore literary works from throughout history and around the world.
The objectives of the courses are:
- to provide a program of guided reading of works acclaimed in different times and cultures from antiquity to the present
- to provide a very broad framework of cultural history in which to read the works
- to explore methods and assumptions of literary and cultural analysis
- to develop skills in reading and writing
The courses are taught mostly by faculty in the Department of English, with the occasional participation of faculty from other departments, such as Foreign Languages, Philosophy, and History. Instructors of World Literature select the readings and design the syllabus for their sections of the course in accord with guidelines established by the World Literature Committee in the Department of English. The Department and University also make available to students and faculty a range of related support services and enrichment resources.
