Readings in this course include Aristotle's Selections, Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, Hildegard of Bingen's Selected Writings, Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, Anne Bronte's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano, Marguerite Yourcenar's Memoirs of Hadrian, and Alice Munro's Runaway.
