Classes in the Study of Literature
Session Course Description
May 12th through June 18th, 2008
Writing Poetry—A Workshop
Mondays, 9:30 am to 11:00 am
This is a new course for those who have already expressed themselves in verse and also for those who have thought about writing poetry but have not yet taken the plunge. We will do a lot of writing in class and also study some well-known poems, looking for strategies and ideas that can help us in the shaping or our own poetry. By the end of the course you can comfortably expect to have several of your own poems written and have enough skills to be your own poetry critic and guide.
Virginia Woolf—the 20th Century Novel
Tuesdays, 9:30 am to 11:00 am
We will be reading closely To the Lighthouse, The Waves, Mrs. Dalloway and A Room of One’s Own. Woolf’s style is unique and she achieves in her writing a sense of what it is to be a woman that few other women writers have ever been able to approach.
Deepening an Understanding of Classical Music
Tuesdays, 7:00 to 8:30 pm & Wednesdays, 9:30 am to 11:00 am
A course for people who already enjoy music, but who want to know more about the basic structures of classical music and details that make one performance better than another. We will review the instruments of the orchestra, how music is represented on paper, how music has ‘evolved’ historically, who is regarded as a ‘hot’ composer and how to grow your own CD collection.
