[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"a complete lack of translation coursework"

why would an english department have "translation coursework"?

This is not a serious post.[/quote]
Because English as a field has moved beyond literal English-only texts for decades now? Because liberal arts colleges typically don’t have comparative literature departments and hire inside the English department for that role? This is a silly response. [/quote]

NP. If I want to major in English literature, I’m interested in studying texts written in English. If I’m interested in studying literature in general, or comparative literature, then that’s a different story, and I’d likely choose a school that has available majors that focus on those areas.

But English departments don’t need translation coursework. If a student wants that, they need to choose a more general literature major, not English literature.

English departments at LAC represent a lot more departments than those at R1s.[/quote]
