Section Title:
Saints,Lovers&Heroes in Poetry
Section Info:
Same as SAME 199. Persian has one of the great literatures of the world and is really worth getting to know for anyone who cares even the tiniest bit about literature. George A Miller Visiting Professor Dr. Richard Davis will lead the class through a sampling of the major genres of Persian poetry – epic, romance, mystical verse, lyric verse. You will spend 15 weeks in the company of characters who are utterly different from us in some ways and startlingly like us in others. Dr. Davis is an accomplished poet in his own right, and is recognized as the preeminent translator of Persian poetry.
