This is a writing-intensive lit class, since I won’t be teaching ENGL 1007 next year, but I wanted to share. We will pay particular to the way death and dying (and in some cases, figures who could be considered undead) are depicted: from historical, political, aesthetic, and scientific perspectives. I’ll be teaching:
-Hamlet (big surprise)
-Cemetery Boys, Aiden Thomas
-Here Lies, Olivia Clare Friedman
