LS 663 - Between the Cracks: Reviving Neglected Texts

(3.00 cr.)

The course focuses on works which too often go untaught, unread, unseen, and underappreciated, because they do not readily fit traditional, generic, or disciplinary expectations. Each of the works taken up will challenge received ideas and settled interpretive strategies. Students are encouraged to read against the grain in ways both unsettling and liberating. The reading list varies from semester to semester. May be repeated for credit.
