ENG 120 - Apocalyptic Literature

There is a long tradition of apocalyptic literature–stories of worlds gone wrong, of worst-case scenarios–warning readers about dangerous trends in society and challenging readers to make a better world.  Through a combination of classic and contemporary novels, essays, and articles, students will explore the specific conditions that inspire these dystopian visions, the general warnings inherent in them, and the broad trends in apocalyptic literature over time.

Credits: 3
