Foreign Literature in Translation, 1/10, 3rd period
Dream is dressed in his robes again, though he might seem slightly tired from the rigors of class yesterday. He grips a mug of tea as he stands before the blackboard.
"Welcome to "Foreign Literature in Translation." Some of you may know this discipline as comparative literature. In brief, it is critical scholarship dealing with the literatures of several languages. I anticipate covering works originally written in French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Latin and Italian this term, and I am looking for a suitable text with its roots in the many languages of the continent of Africa.
We have a small group, which I hope will lend itself to discussion. Miss Bristow is our TA; please come see her or me with any questions. Today, I would like for you to begin by reading and signing the list of classroom rules. This is our contract for the semester. After that, stand and introduce yourselves, making note of any previous experience with languages.
As homework, I would like for you to read Guy de Maupassant's short story "The Necklace", which I have made available in the original French as well as English. Be prepared on Thursday to discuss what the story says about the French culture of de Maupassant's time, as well as any other critical reactions you may have to it.
I am in my office after class for any questions or concerns."
