Professing Literature
Why do great novels, poems and plays move us and excite us? How can they change the way we look at ourselves and the world? What do these authors have to teach us? Why do they matter? There are no better answers to these questions than those provided by the authors themselves. We want to let them speak. Professing Literature is not a broad summary of major works. Instead, it will zero in on one or two key passages, looking at them closely in order to figure out what is at stake. The goal will be to appreciate an author’s brilliance by seeing him or her in action. We will unpack key phrases, images and metaphors and we will consider the techniques the writer uses to make ideas come alive.

So much more than a literature lecture. The enthusiastic, accessible discussions inspire appreciation for the art of writing, but even more, they remind the listener that these diverse characters’ experiences are our own human experiences. And in every episode, Professor Anderson highlights some character or idea that makes me want to be my best self.
Great!

Professing Literature Podcast: Age cannot wither it, nor custom stale its infinite variety. Other podcasts cloy the appetites they feed, but this one makes hungry where most it satisfies.
Superb
