Description:

This course examines the ways in which selected works make meaning through their dependence on other works. Every text is produced out of earlier texts, and these earlier texts may be called intertexts. This course studies the debt that literary texts of one or more English cultures owe to culturally prominent intertexts: mythology, the Bible, classical writings, legends, or folklore. Specific content varies from year to year.
