Distribution Course in Arts & Letters. Class of 2009 & prior only. Minuchehr. This course examines the works and ideas of the thirteenth century sufi and founder of the Mevlevi order, Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi. Although Rumi composed his mystical poetry in Persian, numerous translations in a multitude of languages have made this poet an international personality. In this course, we will examine Rumi's original mystical vocabulary and allegorical style in English translations. We will also look at Rumi's reception in different parts of the world, especially in America, where he has been on the best-seller lists for a decade.
