ENGL 310 - Entering the Labyrinth: Literature, Art & Eco-Contemplation

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
(Same as ENST 310 ) Labyrinths have been a feature of the human landscape since ancient times, used for decoration, contemplation and ceremonies. Like gardens, they are an interface between the environment and human culture. This course studies the heritage, literature, and use of labyrinths, from its mythic origins to the present, and constructs a traditional labyrinth on the Vassar campus. In doing so, we learn much about labyrinths and the world in which we live.  Paul Kane.

Prerequisite(s): Permission of the instructor.

One 2-hour period and individual conferences with the instructor.

Course Format: CLS
