__Hello members of Honors 100.01__
This course is a survey of various major texts and their accompanying great ideas from the earliest recorded beginnings to roughly 1400 C.E. with a special emphasis on composition, amply fulfilling the Writing/Literature requirement. This is one of the more foundational of the core courses, because it provides necessary underpinnings for all subsequent learning and intellectual activity. By surveying various examples of great Western literature and thought, students can better understand how current genres and canons developed, and thus appreciate their fuller significance. Because texts will be selected from a wide variety of genres (epic, drama, comedy, lyric poetry, romance, historiography, philosophical writing, essay) the students’ overall abilities to understand and appreciate literature will be enhanced. (3 credits)
