EALL 262 will survey landmark works in several genres of medieval, late imperial, early modern and modern Chinese literature, including short stories, lyric poetry, essays, ghost stories, plays, and novels. Through these readings, students will explore different aspects of the changing politics, society and culture of China. The goal of this class is to understand and enjoy representative works of Chinese literature, and to find common threads that link them both across historical periods and to students' own lives and cultures. In doing so, students will learn about the Chinese concepts of reality and illusion, proper and improper behavior, and the interpersonal self. |
