The course will consist of wide-ranging novels from different regions, time periods and languages (in translation). Additional readings will be used for historical contextualization. Theoretical readings may focus on any of the following: introducing students to ways of understanding the relation between history and form; providing contrasts between the models of comparative or world literature taken from the US or from Europe, and other newer approaches based on the link between ethnography and the differing tableaus of world history; the relation of the novel to other genres, etc. Specific themes and texts discussed in the course may vary.
