Course Description: Spring 2008

Literary Visions is a 26 half-hour course that is brought to life by noted critics, authors, scholars, and actors as they explore literature and literary analysis. Dramatizations, readings, and discussions build skills in critical thinking and writing. Excerpts of both classic and contemporary works represent the expanding diversity of literature and its role in influencing and recording humanity.

Organized around three major genres of literature-short fiction, poetry and drama--the television programs examine literary elements such as character, plot, and symbolism. Host, Shakespearean actress Fran Dorn, identifies these elements within dramatizations of the representative literary works. Commentary from noted critics contributes the multiple perspectives that would be found in class discussion. Contemporary authors James Dickey, August Wilson, Maxine Hong Kingston and Tillie Olson, among others, discuss their inspiration and the craft of creative writing.

Literary Visions is developed by Intelecom in association with the Instructional Telecommunications Council, and produced by Maryland Public Television. From Annenberg/CPB. Closed-captioned for the hearing impaired.
