We will also have lectures from Dr. Johnson on how to teach Beowulf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, “The Ethics of Elfland” by Chesterton, Hamlet, Macbeth, The Cosmic Trilogy by C. S. Lewis, and Cur Deus Homo by Anselm.

ClassicalU Director Jesse Hake speaks with Christine Perrin about her most recent lecture and her research interests, which include participatory reading and other practices in the literature classroom as well as educating the poetic imagination and the nature and recovery of a musical education. Professor Perrin is currently recording a lecture for a forthcoming course with ClassicalU.com called "Women in the Tradition" and has an existing course called "The Art of Poetry".
