COOL CLASSES: "Warriors and Outlaws in China and England"
“Warriors and Outlaws in China and England”
In this East Asian Languages and Cultures course taught by Professor Paul Smith, students read and compare the two most iconic outlaw epics of England and China: Water Margin, about Song Jiang’s band of brothers in Shandong Province, and the many ballads about Robin Hood and his band of merry men in Sherwood Forest.
Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.
