• DUAL CREDIT INTRODUCTION TO LITERATURE (MSU ENG 200 Great Books & Instant Classics)

    The works that society calls its "great books" tell us much about how society views itself. Popular forms of linguistic expression, though sometimes less celebrated, similarly reflect a culture's sense of itself. Examining a range of texts, time-honored and otherwise, from numerous critical perspectives, this course explores how literature reflects the values of the societies that create and enjoy them. Appropriate for students in all majors. This course is an English elective and does not replace required English courses.
