Course Description

In this course we will explore how one religion, Christianity, is both reflected and inflected in modern literature. Our texts will be a short story (Anton Chekhov’s “The Student,” 1894) and a short novel (Evelyn Waugh’s Helena, 1950). We will consider such topics as God, myth, ritual, and symbol. All readings will be very manageable in length, and there will be ample opportunities for rich discussion. The course serves as preparation for further studies in religion, literature, and the relationship between the two. No prerequisites; all are welcome.
