Bible Studies?

[liminalia.livejournal.com]

You stole my exact comment! :P

[pigeonhed.livejournal.com]

well it was that or Shakespeare.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

I'd suggest the Mabinogion, but I don't remember any prostitution there.

[liminalia.livejournal.com]

One could argue that Blodeuwedd was procured, in a way...

[jandersoncoats.livejournal.com]

I might have guessed opera.

[tinyfroglet.livejournal.com]

Is this a course on the Old Testament?

[lebannen.livejournal.com]

You know, I think it's going to be the 17th century lit-not-involving-John-Milton course mentioned previously (http://truepenny.livejournal.com/536541.html).But it would apply equally to the other....

Looks like a great course. :)

icon love!

I gave my kids a Big Sprawling Incomplete Map of the Novel today. Also a chart of the novel vs. the romance. Professional geekery FTW!

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

[gwynnega]

Yay!

[wistling.livejournal.com]

Greek myth?

[sleary.livejournal.com]

I want to be in your class!

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

*splort* Nobody warned ME when I took Jacobean tragedy. We just got to blunder on in and shriek in horror.

P.

Please post your syllabus when you've got it figured out? Or at least the reading?

[greek-amazon.livejournal.com]

Can I second this request?

Yay! 16th and 17th literature ROCK! If the Powere That Be actually knew anything about the subject it would surely be banned.

Please, please post all the primary and secondary sources you'll be using. I am so envious of your students. Should you post any of your lectures, of course, I (and many others of your readers, I'm sure) would faint with joy.

That's just a hint, of course...

Oops! 16th and 17th CENTURY literature is what I meant to say. Please forgive me. I was horribly excited!

[wicked-witchery.livejournal.com]

I just took a humanities course in the spring titled "Sex, Crime and Madness in the 19th Century." There was no danger of anyone falling asleep during that class. I hope you get a good group of students.

[sauced-again.livejournal.com]

Put that in the course calendar as well as they syllabus and you'll have a full class for sure.

John Ford? Restoration comedy?

[yourssincerely.livejournal.com]

Where do I sign up?

=P

Sounds to us from the descriptors given that SM could almost be planning to teach a course on the four novels in her 'Labyrinth' series. Her department _did_ say that she could teach anything that she wanted! Perri & Richard.

There is a reason my specialty is Jacobean tragedy.

My disclaimer at the beginning of class each semester ran something like: "This is an art history class. It's all about images and their context. There will be pictures of naked people. You will be required to write about them. There will be sculptures of naked people. You will be required to stand right next to these sculptures. There will be religious art. At least some of this religious art is guaranteed to have been made in the service of a religion to which you do not subscribe. Some of the gods misbehave rather dramatically. If any of this is a serious problem for you, then please find some other elective to take."

[truepenny.livejournal.com]

Oh excellent.

[synsenielle.livejournal.com]

Heh. That's got to be intriguing for the possible-students to see.

I wanna join your course. High-school English courses honestly suck, in my opinion. All too froofie. But yours sounds very non-froofie.
