Readings dating to the ancient Sumerian heroic epic, The Gilgamesh, the Greek Homeric epics The Iliad and The Odyssey, the ancient Hebrews' Old and New Testaments, Islam's The Koran, the formative works of European nations like France's Song of Roland and England's Beowulf, the course explores works that extend to the European Renaissance, culminating in such classics as Milton's Paradise Lost, Shakespeare's Othello, and Machiavelli's The Prince. This Internet-assisted course
of English 2332 is organized in Units devoted to three periods of writing.

and five short analytical essays, incorporating support, both from the
readings and from supplementary texts provided by online and other resources.
