AS 220.112: The Problems with Myth: Mythology in 20th Century Literature
3.00 Credits
Johns Hopkins University
This course examines how and why important 20th century writers reinterpreted ancient myths to explore modern themes of ennui, violence, and the absurd hero. We begin with classical authors then jump to those of the 20th century: for example, Louise Glück, James Joyce, Albert Camus, and Eugene O'Neill. In addition to reading literature and essays, students write original poems and sketches in order to understand how mythic narratives continue to satisfy the modern voice.

AS 220.113: The Art of Myth-Making in Animation

AS 220.115: Mitchell, Fitzgerald, and American Class Identity
3.00 Credits
Johns Hopkins University
English General Banastre Tarleton was reviled throughout the American South for his extreme brutality during the War of American Independence. Why, then, did Margaret Mitchell select Tarleton as the surname for the twin brothers who are courting the Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind? Did Mitchell intend the name both as an historical reference, and as a literary reference? In four short stories, F. Scott Fitzgerald used the fictional town of Tarleton, Georgia as the backdrop for his disparagement of the notion that social integration was desirable—much less even possible. Did Mitchell conceive her novel as a counterweight to Fitzgerald's depictions of the futility of attempts at class mobility—not only in those stories, but also in The Great Gatsby? What's at stake in the commitment to resisting or promoting class fluidity? How does Mitchell's debate with Fitzgerald illustrate the role social standing plays in modern America?
