In this class, we continue the tradition of Great Books by
creating an intellectual community through the practice of
text-based, shared-inquiry discussions. Now, in addition
to reading the great classics of the Western canon, we
also explore classic texts of world literature, as well as
contemporary works, both fiction and non-fiction. We read
exceptional selections, curated by the editors, from the
“Norton Anthology of World Literature” Volume F, the 20th
century, 2nd edition, and other possible sources. About two
weeks before the first session, a syllabus, with specific
readings, will be emailed to those registered for the class.
Discussion each week will be led by a volunteer from
the class.
Note: the first four (4) sessions of this class will be held via Zoom. The remaining four (4) will be in-person at Sarasota Art Museum.
