Catalog 2006-07 THE DEPARTMENT OF COMPARATIVE LITERATURE AND ENGLISH COMPARATIVE LITERATURE CREATIVE WRITING DRAMA ENGLISH COMPOSITION ENGLISH FOUNDATION PROGRAM COMPARATIVE LITERATURE MAJOR The Comparative Literature Major traces the traditions of Western literature from antiquity to contemporary works from Europe and the Americas. Each course is an integral part of a diachronic presentation of this literature and sheds a particular light on the many readings of the literary tradition. This light is fueled by the knowledge of several literatures, by related work in other disciplines of the humanities, and by recent movements in literary and critical theory. In the final year, the student usually undertakes a research project on a literary topic or theme in more than one literature under the guidance of a professor. This senior project provides the opportunity to pursue in detail a specific interest, which has emerged from the student's reading. There are also an Honors Major and a Minor in Comparative Literature, as well as a Minor in Theater and Performance, a Minor in Classical Civilization and a Minor in Medieval Studies. In addition, the Department houses the Creative Writing courses. It offers a variety of internships, including several positions with the AUP-Emory Beckett Correspondence Project, and positions with Paris publishing houses.
