English in literature is very different from English in news media; one gives you information and the other gives you enjoyment. Literature appeals to your senses and makes you appreciate meanings of life. In this course, students will read selections from the masterpieces of English and American literature which have the theme of a journey in common. In the first semester, we will read fourteenth-century to nineteenth-century English poetry and prose and discuss the content and the style of each work. Since the reader's response is as important as the author's intention, students will have a group discussion and write their own opinions based on the discussion. Students'abilty in reading and writing will be thus enhanced, along with acquisition of knowledge in basic literary terms. For most students, who may be beginners in reading literature, this course will offer a chance to enter a new world −− a new world of elegant language, beautiful imagery and meaningful thoughts. |
