Modern Greek Literature in Translation
Conducted in English
This course will conduct a survey of Modern
Greek Literature (in translation) from the middle of the nineteenth century to
the present. We will examine the authors and their works not only for
their individual stylistic and thematic elements, but also within the context
of European literary and cultural movements. As a “W” course, we will
also focus on developing students’ writing, specifically writing about
literature. We will devote some time each week to discussing writing
issues, doing in-class writing and workshops.
The goals of this course are to: teach students to analyze
and interpret texts through close reading, discussion, and writing; emphasize
literature’s inherent ability to reflect and understand a particular society by
discussing literature within the broader range of the liberal arts; promote and
develop students’ skills in critical thinking, understanding and appreciation
of the written language; provide a comparative approach to understanding the
place of Modern Greek literature within the larger field of European
literature; develop students’ writing and analytical skills on the university level.
