Works will include epic poems from Mesopotamia, Greece and India, as well as fiction, drama, and lyric poems from Japan, China, Persia, Arabia, Europe, India, and the Americas. Examining how the unique literatures of the world display to various degrees the globalizing tendencies that have come to fruition in the twentieth century, we will be alert to the richly diverse threads that have been woven into the intricate tapestry of our global archive. Readings by such writers as Homer, Aeschylus, Valmiki, Laozi, Kalidasa, Lady Murasaki, Li Bai, Attar, Rumi, Dante, Montaigne, Marlowe, Zhu Xi, Shakespeare, Nezahualcoyotl, and Sor Juan Inés de la Cruz, and Mirabai. |
