This course is designed to fulfill one semester of the Georgetown College Literature/Writing requirement. It is taught in English and all readings are in English; it assumes no knowledge of French. The course combines the pleasure of reading imaginative literature with the need to move beyond the pleasure principle and take a more distanced perspective. Its focus is thematic and interpretive. The readings are selected from French, German, and English literature (20th-12th centuries); there is also a film. These texts are all linked thematically in that they are stories about growing up and finding one's identity. Growing up is a complex, mysterious, and sometimes arduous process that the hero/heroine experiences as a magical world where the natural laws governing human existence are suspended, the unexpected is bound to occur, and marvels are reserved for the chosen few. The choices to be made, dangers to be faced, and discoveries to be made, all help the hero/heroine relate to his/her own world and the conventional, mundane public world outside. Friendship, family, love, good and evil, authority and power, success and failure, responsibility, belief and knowledge and inexplicable mystery--these are essential experiences that structure and develop identity, in real life and in literature, today as well as yesterday. These readings are fantastic in both senses of the word: they create for their hero/heroine a magical world that is outside us readers and yet inside us too, and they are fabulous reading. This course does not count toward the French major or minor.

The objective of this course is to explore the medievalism of J.K. Rowlingâs Harry Potter novels. To do this we need to go back to their medieval antecedents in the 12th-15th centuries, which will allow us to contrast and compare the old and the new. We will read masterpieces of imaginative storytelling from French, German, and English medieval literature in addition to selected Harry Potter volumes, but we will also consult Plato and Joseph Campbell. The old and the new are linked thematically in that they are all narratives about growing up and finding oneâs identity: a complex, mysterious, and sometimes arduous process that the hero/heroine experiences as a magical world where the natural laws governing human existence are suspended, the unexpected is bound to occur, and marvels are reserved for the chosen few. The readings and discussion are in English.
