Haverford College

Subject:

Description:

P.Lin The rituals of everyday life marks the passing of our personal histories: they include the basics for sustenance, as well as the extravagant and serendipitous occurrences; there is a rhythm to daily life, and there are interruptions to that rhythm. At the same time, records of daily life also reflect a given period, its culture, people or the individual writers. This course explores everyday life beginning from the earliest times with the Book of Songs to the great 18th century novel, the Dream of the Red Chamber. Topics include: farm life and gardens, the "things" in life, travels, courtship, dreams, tea culture, and food. Not offered in 2008-09.
