Great Books The Great Books Program embraces a small number of courses in world literature in translation that do not conveniently fit within the traditional departments. Originally conceived as a first-year humanities sequence, the program has evolved to serve several special purposes. But the core of the program consists of great works of literature, history, and philosophy from various traditions and languages, which have had an enduring general influence.
