- Class Description:
- While it is impossible to cover all of "world literatures" in a single semester, this course aims to provide an introduction to Anglophone literatures in the "global periphery," focusing especially on formerly colonized countries. We will read a number of novels written in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, examining the historical context of their composition and analyzing their relationship to American and British literature. Particular attention will be paid to how these texts address questions of nationalism, language, diaspora, and personal identity. We will also consider a number of different theories of world literature from a variety of disciplines -- history, economics, linguistics, sociology, and literature -- to shed some light on the benefits and complications of using this term. Texts considered will be originally written in English by authors from Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, but will also consider works from other areas that fall under the rubric of English-authored texts outside the U.S. and Britain.

- Class Description:
In this course, we will read literary texts from diverse backgrounds written in the nineteenth-century and after. While works written by American or British authors are not entirely excluded, our focus is with authors of other national origins and their engagement with English and literatures written in English. This course will cover texts originally written in English as well as texts that gained currency within the Anglophone world through translation. As we read a text in the broad light of imperialism and postcolonialism, we will examine issues of race, gender, and class at work in the text within specific historical and political contexts.
