ENGLISH LITERATURE High Style in Poetry and the Short Story Luke Maxted’s course on ‘high style’ in literature continues. Each week will focus on a different author, including some great modern American writers such as Philip Roth, Thomas Pynchon and Toni Morrison as well as Flaubert and some neglected plays and sonnets of Shakespeare that are all deserving of the label ‘high style’.” As we look at a different writer each week, you are welcome to join the class at any time. (10 week course) TESTIMONIALS: “Thanks to Luke, I am having my moments of ‘epiphany’ at the Wednesday evening classes. I find his classes so stimulating and enriching." "I join my colleagues in sharing the joy about Luke's class on Emily Dickinson. We’ll have to lobby to have more classes with Luke!" |
