HC ARHU

2 credits
An exploration of the aesthetic style and thematic concerns deployed by a major American writer across her five novels to date, including Housekeeping and the Gilead Cycle. With a distinctive lyricism tied to conceptual intricacy, Robinson elaborates how the deepest questions of meaning continue to matter in our putatively secular age. Requires heavy reading load, class participation and frequent writing assignments.
