GENINT 741.485
Osher (50+). In this course, we explore the Bloomsbury Group and read the works of two of the group's major literary luminaries, Virginia Woolf and E. M. Forster .
About this course:
The title of this course, attributed to the inimitable wit and satirist Dorothy Parker (1893-1967), is a terse, spot-on description of one of the foremost literary-artistic groups/salons/gatherings in western literature and art. In this course, we read Amy Licence’s Living in Squares, Loving in Triangles, which introduces us to the brave, passionate and innovative lives and loves of these remarkable writers, artists and intellectuals (even T. S. Eliot, who popped in occasionally). We also read works by two of the group’s major literary luminaries, Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) and E. M. Forster (1879-1970). Their works include early short stories as well as their masterpiece novels, Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and Forster’s A Passage to India (1924).Contact Us
