Brief Biographical Sketch:
I am a junior at UC Berkeley double-majoring in English and Computer Science. I love reading works of literary criticism and am particularly interested in different literary theories. Feel free to ask me about the English (or CS and Math) classes at Cal!

Join me in an interactive, discussion-based session as we analyze William Butler Yeats's poem, "The Song of Wandering Aengus." All levels of familiarity with literary analysis are welcome. No prior knowledge of Yeats is necessary.
Detailed Description: We will study Yeats's work in a vacuum (i.e. without reference to the historical context or Yeats's background), and center our discussions on the ways elements of form and content combine to create various effects. We will also explore generalities such as the public vs private experiences of readership, the direct and indirect ways narratives invoke sensation, and theories of symbolism.
