COMPLIT 291: Literature of Rage and Resilience (JEWISHST 290)

Course Description

This course explores the relationship between anger, rage, and poetic narratives, examining how literature provides a unique space in which rage - both personal and collective - can be preserved, processed, transformed, and/or manipulated. Through close readings of texts, we will investigate how authors confront the challenge of articulating strong emotions. As part of the course, we will also explore the dynamics between narratives of rage, resilience, and change.
