Planning The Class

We’ll start the semester with a viewing of Ridley Scott’s first feature film The Duellists, and then proceed to the following texts in an order I haven’t quite fathomed or fashioned yet:

Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing;

Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac;

Byron’s Selected Poems;

143 rather short poems; 

a handful of stories by de Maupassant;

a handful of tales by Poe;

Shelley’s Frankenstein;

and Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon.
