Teachers as Scholars: Madness, Love, Death, and Fiction in 'Don Quixote'-March 27, 2015

TITLE: Teachers as Scholars: Madness, Love, Death, and Fiction in 'Don Quixote'

DATE: March 27, 2015

LOCATION: Montclair State University-University Hall, ADP Center Room 1143

TIME: 8:30 AM-3:30 PM

INSTRUCTOR: Linda Gould Levine

Why does "Don Quixote" continue to fascinate readers more than four hundred years after the publication of the two parts of the novel in 1605 and 1615? How does Miguel de Cervantes succeed in writing a novel that is rooted in 17th century Spanish history and is also so profoundly universal and contemporary? How does the novel anticipate many aspects of psychology and literature that are part of our 21st century reality —madness, the complexities of self and identity, shifting gender norms, the transformation of life into fiction and fiction into life, love as possession or sacrifice, narrative games, and challenges to authority? This two day seminar attempts to answer these questions and focuses on select chapters of the excellent translation of the novel by Edith Grossman.
