Hello, and Welcome to English 2332!

This course is a study of the major works written by selected world writers from the Ancient Period to the Early Modern Period.   Because it is a "survey" course, there will not be time to read the works of all major/minor writers, but we will highlight the representative and culturally diverse literary artists of each period.   Although our chief emphasis is on significant literary developments and contributions, the social, intellectual, and historical developments will be important as they relate to the literature.

Prerequisites:   English 1301 and English 1302, with a grade of "C" in each course.

Note: To view some of the documents on this site, you will need Microsoft Word 2000 or later. If you do not have this program on your home PC, you can use the computer labs in the CTC library to view and print them.
