Courses in Comparative Literature

A new departure in College instruction this year is the establishment of several courses in Comparative Literature, which appeal primarily to undergraduates and require no special knowledge of any language but English. Some of these are courses that have previously existed under other names. Professor Wendell's course, English 46, now appears as Comparative Literature 1, "A General Survey of European Literature." Professor Schofield's course on the "Literary History of England and the Continent from the Norman Conquest to Elizabeth," which was formerly English 42, is now called Comparative Literature 6. Professor Bliss Perry will give his new course, "Types of Fiction in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries" under the name of Comparative Literature 12.
