LIT 2000 Spring 2022 Grinbergs

This introductory course is not for the faint of heart. We’ll explore works spawned from the tension between order and chaos, delving into issues such as abnormal psychology, monstrosity, and more. Boundaries will be blurred. In the first half of the semester, we’ll analyze poetry, short stories, and folktales. In the second half, we’ll examine Miss Lonelyhearts (novella), Frankenstein (novel), Equus (drama), and their movie adaptations. Major assignments include two papers, a midterm exam, and a final exam.
