Subject:

Description:

Orpheus leads Eurydice up from the darkness with a renewal of his devotion for his dead, but soon to be alive again, love. Orpheus is a poet and lover. The seminar investigates his attempt to bring his poetry (art) and love, Eurydice, into the light. We investigate texts and non-texts as they reveal and hide themselves, the author, and the audience. We search fiction, poetry, film, and fine arts. Conversation, discussion, written and oral response to the various (non-)texts is essential for the course. Prerequisite: Open to students in Honors program only. 3 credits. Offered as planned by Honors Council.
