| EALL 261 will survey landmark works in several genres of classical and early medieval Chinese literature, including lyric and ballad poetry, philosophical dialogues, essays and short stories. Through these readings, students will explore the roots and early development of culture, society and political thought in China from the earliest era to the Tang dynasty period. The goal of this class is to understand and enjoy representative literary works and to find common threads that link them to each other across historical periods as well as to students' own lives and cultures. In doing so, students will learn about the Chinese conceptions of virtue, truth and beauty. |
