ENGL 218 - The Art of Telling a Love Story

This course examines novels from varied literary traditions and analyzes how narrators arrange their fictional worlds, setting and place, and set in motion characters, dialogues, and descriptions to bring out multiple representations of relationship and love. In this course, students read translated novels of French authors: Balzac, Maupassant, Camus and Saint-Exupery. Critical thinking and writing under the overarching theme of love promotes an understanding of the novels in their cultural/historical contexts, which also leads to an appreciation of enduring human values.
