The study of literature at Hampshire College encompasses a diverse range of topics. Courses often center not only on time periods or specific authors, but also on genres, social and artistic movements, and theoretical or thematic questions.
Researching the historical and social impact of literature as well as the ways in which historical circumstances shape artists' creative work and literary movements is encouraged, and many courses promote the reading of literature in the original language.
Students can focus on a specific national or language-literature (for example, English, French, Russian) or alternately pursue a more comparative or multi-cultural approach (literature of the African Diaspora, Hispano-American literature, European comparative literature, post-colonial literature).
