AESTH INTP 38: The English Language as Literature
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
This course will recount the development of English literature, from Caedmon's hymn to Ulysses, as a story about the development of the English language, its new musculatures: how the steady accretion of linguistic and word-musical possibilities (French and Latin vocabulary, Italian stanza forms, Germanic and Celtic archaisms, finally a sort of pan-European synthesis) shaped the works of Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, Swift, MacPherson, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Hopkins, Yeats, Joyce, and Beckett.

AESTH INTP 40: Monuments of Islamic Architecture
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
An introduction to ten iconic monuments of the Islamic world from the beginning of Islam to the early modern period. The course introduces various types of building-mosques, palaces, multifunctional complexes-and city types and the factors that shaped them, artistic, patronal, socio-political, religio-cultural, and economic. Each case study is divided into two lectures. The first presents the monument or city by "walking" through it. The second is devoted to themes elicited from the example, developed in light of comparative monuments, sites, and/or written sources, and to problems of patronage, production, audience and meaning as they pertain to architectural history.

AESTH INTP 42: Literature and Revolution: Great Books in Moments of Cultural Transformation
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
What is the function of literary texts in moments, from Plato to the Russian Revolution, that promise total, enlightened societal transformation? Each week, this course will focus on two texts related to selected "revolutionary" moments, one philosophical and one literary. Literary texts do not participate easily in the revolutionary order. They resist the textual simplicities of philosophy. Which do we trust: philosophy or literature? Texts include many found in traditional "Great Books" courses: Plato, Virgil, Augustine, Dante, Luther, Milton, Swift, Rousseau, Twain, Kant, Marx, and Chekov, among others.
