This course will introduce participants to the extraordinary life and legacy of Pearl S. Buck. Buck was the first woman to win both the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the Nobel Prize for Literature, and she remains one of only two women to do so (Toni Morrison is the other). Best known for her novel The Good Earth, Buck was a prolific writer who published more than 60 works of fiction and non-fiction over more than 40 years. Her works address a wide range of topics, from Asian history to children with cognitive disabilities to nuclear war. Buck was also a champion for civil rights, women's and children's rights, international peace, and intercultural understanding. This course will examine these dimensions of Buck's life and explore why her legacy resonates in our modern world.

In art, the years between 1800 and 1900, were dominated by romantic themes driven by major social, economic, and political changes. The Romantic Movement was an escape from industrialization, a celebration of the grandeur of nature, and an imaginative view of Eastern cultures. This course will explore the many layers of Romanticism from the Egyptomania following Napoleon Bonaparte's first Egyptian expedition in 1798, to the Victorian fascination with medievalism and the supernatural. In America, we will explore the epic landscapes of the artists who sought to capture the unspoiled beauty of the American wilderness.
