Or, Welcome to AP Literature & Composition

Course Description

World Literature combines both Eastern and Western world

literature and masterpieces from British literature. This humani-

ties course entails a detailed study of international relationships

in moral and ethical values, enabling students to make value

judgments on the overall human condition. The rationale for the

course at the APand J levels is that through intensive study of

Eastern and Western cultures, students will be able to examine

the distinguishing traits of national culture and social mores

and yet recognize those similarities that run through disparate

cultures in view of the unity of human experience. The rationale

is also that through the study of British literature, students will be

able to develop a better understanding of the functions of the

English language and will be able to formulate comparative

judgments on the theories, philosophies, social mores and various

writing styles analyzed in the course.
