English and World Literature
Through literature we experience other lives and learn to read
our own as we grapple with the social and ethical implications of
the knowledge we acquire. We learn those lessons best when the literature
we study includes the aspirations, failures and accomplishments
of diverse peoples of all colors and cultures. The Pitzer English
and World Literature major is intended to increase learning and
writing skills through the systematic study, recovery, and appreciation
of the best imaginative verse and prose, in worldwide English mainly
but also in literatures in translation-works that have helped to
spawn and continue to influence theoretical approaches to other
disciplines. Some English and World Literature concentrators pursue
double majors, using literature as a testing ground for their second
discipline, which in turn, is a key to one of the many doors of
literature itself.
