Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Explore the rich and diverse world of World literature!  Build your knowledge of the different themes, styles, and genres of World literature, and as well the historical and cultural context in which these works were written.  Improve your ability to discuss and write about literature in an effective and powerful way.

This is the 3rd part in a 4 part, year-long World Literature course. This 8 week, semester course will explore the 3rd quarter of World Literature--the early modern world.  We will explore pieces of great literature from a variety of locations and time periods. This course will explore the historical context for each piece within its geographical context, as well as the literary features of the writings.  We will read a variety of genres of writing from the most significant World writers.  Our focus each week will be a particular author or piece as representative of each greater literary movement.  Students will be expected to read outside of class and come to class prepared to discuss their reading.  There will be writing assignments each week that students can submit for additional feedback and assessment.  This class is perfect for literary lovers, history lovers, or anyone just curious about world history and literary culture. 

This class coordinates with either my World History 2 course or my Enlightenment and Romanticism in Context history courses.

I highly recommend taking my Literary Analysis Essay Writing course prior to or concurrent with this course to develop your literary writing skills.  


From a former student, "Your literature classes really prepared me well for college but also continued developing my critical thinking skills, world view, and love of learning."

What you can expect from this class:
-an appreciation for World literature
-an understanding of the historical context for key pieces
-an increased ability to use literary analysis in discussion
-improvement in your literary analysis writing skills
-instructor feedback to help you meet your goals

Learning Goals

Students will develop their literary analysis skills, as well as their understanding of world literature.
