英語圏文学演習２

授業テーマ	The city and country in English literature.
授業のねらい・到達目標	Students will be extending their knowledge of cities in English literature to trace the development of images, moods, tropes, and feelings to the literatures of American, world, global, science fiction, and imaginary cities.
授業の方法	By reading shorter excerpts from a wide variety of fictional and non-fictional genres, from a variety of literary and historical traditions (including Japanese literature in English translation), we will explore the development of modern cities, world and global cities, and how these relate to science fiction and imaginary cities. In their final essays, students may compare real and imaginary cities, relate theoretical and fictional texts, or to discuss whether the city is good or bad.
