400 This class consists of a survey approach to British and World Literature spanning thirteen centuries.  The latter part of the course focuses on modern texts.  The literature is chosen both for its aesthetic value and its cultural significance.  The literature offers examination of the human condition, with a focus upon the principle concerns of literary criticism and the great ideas of civilization.  Writing completed for the course focuses on in-depth text analysis as well as the application of ideas from the texts to our present day society.  Another major emphasis of this course is the preparation of students for the Advanced Placement Exam.  Text selections for the course are made with an awareness of what the test will demand.
