rivendellroseSo, I registered for next Autumn's classes today, and I'm really looking forward to them.
I knew I had to take a class on American lit previous to 1917, so I signed up for Late 19th century American Lit (my favorite period in lit). Then Late 19th century English novel, because it looks fabulously fun - the theme is Individuality, and we're reading a section of J.S. Mill's On Liberty, Carrol's Alice Through the Looking Glass, capitalist and Darwinian theories, Middlemarch, and a few interesting-sounding short stories, among others.
Lastly, my honors seminar. There were a bunch of choices, several of which sounded interesting... but one that I just couldn't pass up. I'll just post the course description, since it's fairly short:
The Devil. This course will examine a variety of religious texts, literary works and political discourses which have informed, and been informed by, the Prince of Darkness. Possible topics include the Hebrew, pre-Christian, early Christian, and pagan influences on the evolution of this character, the iconography associated with Satan, treatment of the Devil in works of fiction, and portrayals of the Devil in popular culture.
*Crosses fingers* I wasn't able to register for that one quite yet, since I didn't remember to get my add-code from the honors department today. But I'm hoping.
