HONR 300C General Honors Seminar The Anti-Hero in 3 credits
European and American Literature
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Early in the
nineteenth century, many European writers
pointed out what they perceived as serious
faults with the "modern world,"; a world
that they and their characters rejected
because they found it crass and
dehumanizing. These writers-and their
characters-felt isolated, angry, and, at
the same time, jealous of those who
mindlessly accepted and unquestioningly
followed the conventional values of their
society. Thus Existentialism was born and
continues today. This course will trace
the development of the anti-hero in
European and American fiction. We will
read and discuss works by Gogol,
Dostoevski, Tolstoi, Kafka, Camus,
Malamus, and others.
