Students looking for a course to take in Spring 2015 will want to check out CLCV 210/310 (Greek Tragedy)!  

In an exciting new collaboration, this course will supplement its core examination of the great tragedies of classical Athens by working with History 353 (Sentimental Education in Early Modern Europe) and French 333 (Classical Tragedy) in several sessions.  The semester will include a guest lecture from Professor Hélène Bilis on the reception of the Oedipus myth by seventeenth-century French playwrights and a class discussion led by Professor Simon Grote on the ways in which eighteenth-century intellectuals used the Antigone to think about moral responsibility.  All three classes will attend a Shakespeare production on campus and come together afterwards to talk about how each course conditions us to think about the drama in a certain way and the ways in which, nonetheless, even apparently distant branches of the humanities have a lot to say to each other!  For further information about this collaboration or about the Greek Tragedy course more generally, please contact Professor Brook in the Classical Studies Department.
