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.

3.00 Credits
Is our character fixed at birth? Is our character determined? How much of who we are comes from the circumstances in which we find ourselves? A reading of works by major British authors in a period of historical, cultural, and intellectual transition: 1870- 1930. Literary analysis of work by Thomas Hardy ( Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Jude the Obscure), E.M. Forster (Where Angels Fear to Tread, A Room With a View, Howards End, A Passage to India), and D.H. Lawrence ( The Rainbow, Women in Love, Etruscan Places). It is recommended that the student familiarize him/herself with George Eliot's Middlemarch; a film version (or at least parts of such) of Eliot's novel is shown. The aim of the course is to examine (helped generally by methods from phenomenology, ecology, and ethics) the philosophical ideas of character and consciousness, as evidenced in the books, and to attempt reconciliation between the notions of fixed character and character via circumstance. Prerequisite: Open to students in Honors program only. 3 credits. Offered as planned by Honors Council.
