ENGL 170C PO - Inventing the Great Books


CrsNo ENGL170C PO


When Offered: Last offered spring 2009.

Instructor(s): K. Dettmar

The idea of “Great Books” appeared in the late 19th century, responding to cultural fears about the failing authority of the Good Book and the democratization of cultural capital available through a storehouse of valuable works: a secular canon. This course explores the “invention” and dissemination of this powerful cultural notion. Readings from Arnold, Newman, Farrar, Joyce, F. R. Leavis, Denby, Gates, Lauter, others. Letter grade only. Prerequisite: ENGL 067 PO .
