Course Description

Combining environmental, cultural and genre studies, this course transports students to the fictional South Poles of four writers: Edgar Allen Poe, Jules Verne, H. P. Lovecraft, and Ursula K. Le Guin. Through reading Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket (1838), Verne's The Sphinx of the Ice Realm (1897), Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness (1936), and Le Guin's “Sur” (1982), we will examine metafiction, realism, and world-building at the intersection of fact and fiction.
