Along with the Bible and the works of Shakespeare, “Alice in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass” are the most widely quoted texts and have never been out of print. Their author, the Oxford Don of Mathematics, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, revolutionized children’s literature when one of the daughters of the dean of his college asked him to write down the tale, he had spun for her one lazy afternoon rowing down the river Isis. In travelling with Alice down the rabbit hole and into the wonderland of his imagination, we’ll not only discover Carroll’s love of puzzles and word play but perhaps catch a glimpse of the man himself.

This course will focus on the writing and exploration of the short story. What makes a short story good, work, and interesting? We will be writing original fiction, which will be turned in to the group for feedback. This will be a workshop-based course, so that you get live and written responses to your work from your peers. We will also read short stories. What are the new, short story writers writing? How can we write like them? This course is for anyone who’s ever wanted to write a story or thinks they have a story to tell but may not be ready to tackle a full-length novel just yet.

In the Jewish book of Genesis, humans were told to be “fruitful and multiply.” Greco-Roman society viewed procreation as an instrument for survival, a “gift from the gods,” and a religious duty of every citizen. Influenced by both traditions, Christianity nevertheless opted for a conception of sex and marriage that is inferior, and at times opposed to, the ideal of Genesis as well as their contemporary culture. As Jews and non-Christians asked, “Where did all this madness come from?” We will explore the Christian innovation of a new understanding of the relationship between the body and society, and how sexual intercourse became the Original Sin.
