D.O.C. House
We'll read some authors whose names are familiar, and some who will bring a questioning expression to the faces of even the English majors. Would you like to amble off the well-defined paths worn dusty by the anthologies? I propose that we read some of Washington Irving's tales, an array of poems and prose by William Cullen Bryant (remember "Thanatopsis"?), and a novel and a stage comedy by Irving's friend and collaborator James K. Paulding.
Class is limited to 20 members.
