Bachelor of Arts - Literary Studies

In this course, students will investigate Greek drama, one of the high points of Western literature, primarily by studying—in translation—many of the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, as well as comedies of Aristophanes and the later poet Menander. The requirements of the concentration are designed to foster students’ skills as interpreters of literature and as writers, while also instilling appreciation of form and knowledge about literature and its relationship to social and political contexts.
