LIT 2230 - Fall 2026 - Adhikari

This course introduces Anglophone literature. We read poetry, fiction, and prose that reimagine, resist, and reckon with inherited languages, borders, and histories. Texts are drawn from a range of national and cultural contexts, with attention to how writers navigate between local traditions and global literary forms. Some of the questions we discuss are what it means to write in the colonizer's language, how literary texts construct/refuse national and cultural identity, and how postcolonial writers engage with memory, displacement, and belonging. We ground our analysis in close reading while situating texts within their broader historical and political contexts.
