Title: Masterworks of European Literature
Description: The subtitle of this course might be `Rethinking the Classics' or `Literature and the Idea of the Human'. The focus will be firmly on the close reading of particular texts but discussions will also range freely over large questions, especially relating to the ways in which great works, over time, have explored the edges or limits of what we mean by the word `human': through madness, war, crime, politics and martyrdom, to name only a few of the more startling options.
