HONR 601 - Reading and the Formation of the Soul

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Honors College

Description:

Classic authors contend that the literature we encounter shapes us, for good or for ill. Hence this course will investigate how poetry and stories form and perhaps deform us, shaping our moral character and our perceptions. In addition to ancient and contemporary readings in literary criticism, this class will read poetry together, discuss particular stories, and consider how to teach so that what we read forms souls in wisdom and virtue.
