Nineteenth-Century British Literature (2009-2010)
  
One of the greatest periods in the history of British literature, the 19th century saw critical developments in attitudes toward society and nature, religion and science, education and aesthetics. In this rigorous, high-school-level course, students will study Romanticism and Victorian literature through close reading of major poets and novelists, including Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, the Brontës, Dickens, Eliot, and Wilde.
 
 

Greek and Roman Literature (2008-2009)

From tales of love, war, revenge, forgiveness, and adventure to the meanings of happiness, friendship, and justice, this rigorous high-school-level course will introduce students to many works of literature, history, and philosophy that form the foundation of Western Civilization. Students will read the Iliad, the Odyssey, seven Greek plays, and the Aeneid in their entirety, as well as selections from Plato, Aristotle, Thucydides, Tacitus, Livy, Cicero, Catullus, and Horace. By the beginning of next summer, students will be better-read than the majority of college graduates!
