University event offered by University of London
Short Session Delivered online
How did Odysseus, the virile, wily hero of Greek antiquity evolve to become a balding man whose wife cheats on him in James Joyce’s modernist masterpiece, Ulysses? Why did Francophone Caribbean writer Aimé Césaire rewrite Shakespeare’s The Tempest drawing on African-American history and African spiritual traditions? How did the novel become the global genre that it is today? In this session, you will learn why only Comparative Literature can answer these questions. In Comparative Literature, we believe that the study of literature should know no national or linguistic borders, and we study authors and works from across the world. In this session, you will learn about Comparative Literature’s truly global outlook and its unique approach to the study of the world’s literatures and cultures, and get a taste of how the subject is taught.
