Text: The Norton Anthology of Western Literature, 8th Edition, Volume 2 (an earlier edition of Volume 2 should also work)

Join us for a tour of recent masterpieces of global literature. Travel the world with Voltaire, linger streamside with the Romantic poets, explore nature with Dickinson, hold a bedside vigil with Tolstoy, visit Dublin with Joyce, change with Kafka, explore modern themes with 20^th century fiction writers. Great poetry, fiction, and drama await the weary. The goal is to make the humanities accessible to humans.
