Abstract
Three functions of the literature division:
1. Close study of major literary works emphasis on form , genre,
aesthetic communication, literature as art, definition
and application of this concept.
2 . Familiarity with at least one foreign language preferably
French e.g., ability to read and to understand oral
French. This requirement would be satisfied by taking
one course or one conference in French literature.
3 . History of ideas: philosophical, ethical, religious background
of Western civilization as particularly reflected in
literary texts.
