Understanding Literature and Life: Drama, Poetry and Narrative

In these series of 64 lectures, Dr. Arnold Weinstein of Brown University examines great works in the three forms of literary expression: drama, poetry, and narrative. The course exhibits the themes and techniques of the great literature, and exposes both the power and the limitations of several analytic tools in assisting our understanding of these monuments of the human spirit, including: Feminism, Marxism, Freudianism, Deconstruction, Close reading. This course is a gratifying experience that can widen the student's views on self and society - in enduring ways.
