HUM 124 Classics in Conversation II: The Christian West
This course focuses on reading and discussing great works of literature in the Western world after the middle ages, in a time period when Christianity came to be a significant factor among the forces that shaped the ways people see the world. As in Classics in Conversation I, these works will be read as efforts to grapple with reality, and as expressive of a fundamental part of the western world's self-understanding. Readings may include works from authors such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, and others. Note: Students in HUM 124 will be attending the university's production of Macbeth this spring.
