As all human history is said to be cyclical, so are the stories that inform us about the human in history. It is in the retelling of that human journey that we feel the power of Literature. Man’s journey from innocence to experience, darkness to discovery, and despair to triumph is chronicled in songs, poems, stories, and drama. The curriculum modules in this section attempt to show you how the stories we retell are connected, how these stories have power, and how they help us interpret our relationship to the world around us.
