ENG 142 - Mythemesis

Type of Course: Lecture, Discussion
This course examines the literary genre of crisis, or apocalyptic, literature and looks to the religious, political and social elements that go into the construction of literary texts where authors blend both traditional materials and their contemporary experience into new worldviews that “swerve” away from status quo expressions of cultural circumstances and thus generate perspectives essential to the progression of human thought and action. Texts will be selected from authors such as Euripides, Shakespeare, Milton, Shelley, Keats, Emerson, Melville, Joyce, Eliot, and Woolf. For undergraduate English majors and minors, this course satisfies the Genre (B-2) requirement.
