Upcoming Live Mini-Classes and Webinars
Join Ella Hornstra in a six session mini class spanning the weeks of July 6th-17th that will look at three plays: King Lear, A Winter’s Tale, and The Tempest. We will begin to see that the stage a play is set to is a microcosm of the life that is played out on the great stage of the earth, and that stories live on in the world around us through the common language of the natural world that has spanned the time between ourselves and the Bard.
Come on July 7th and learn with Addison Hornstra the questions which the great story-tellers of China have shared with their audiences throughout the ages. This will be an introduction that ushers you into a rich collection of stories that bring to life the imaginative backdrop of Chinese literature.
This August, Angelina Stanford returns for the next installment of her class, Harry Potter: Gateway to the Literary Imagination, focusing on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Registration for this mini-class opens soon.
In this webinar, Heather Goodman will look at some of the ingredients that went into the Mary Poppins soup, from Persian and Asian myths to Grimms’ fairy tales to Dante. We’ll trace motifs throughout the Mary Poppins books that echo the universal story, and see how author P.L. Travers was re-storying the cosmos and turning England rightside-up.
Dr. Jason Baxter's book, Why Literature Still Matters hit a nerve, so much so that readers not only agreed with the premise (that we need literature in our technological age) but wanted to know: "Yes, I agree, but now what? Where do we go from here?" In this course, Dr. Baxter will provide a six-week-long addendum to Why Literature Still Matters, by giving a vision of a lifetime reading plan, including an introduction to the different genres of literature (myth, epic, tragedy, comedy, lyric poetry, and the novel).
Best of Angelina Stanford
