• ENG 561: THE EPIC IN MODERN IMAGINATION

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  The Epic in the Modern Imagination has two complementary objectives: to study the nature and function of epic narrative in its classical and modern iterations; and to study major principles and innovations in theories of narrative, as an aesthetic form and a tool for organizing information and experience. The seminar provides extended attention to especially significant epic narratives, which may include Homer's The Odyssey, Joyce's Ulysses, and at least one more contemporary exemplar. Additionally, the seminar focuses on influential texts on and evaluations of epic narrative. All instruction and reading of ancient epic narratives and texts will be conducted in English and/or critically authorized English translations.
