The first volume of Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, “Swann’s Way” begins in a half-awake, half-dreaming state that leads our narrator to reflect on his childhood in Combray, culminating in the now-famous madeleine episode. This class will be a guided discussion: the teacher will offer questions and passages for focus but will allow the class to discuss the text at hand for the majority of our time together, giving participants the opportunity to share their thoughts, questions and reflections in conversation.
. In this class, we’ll assess these contemporary suggestions, while also trying to navigate those of Dickinson’s thinking, writing, and imagining that cannot be summed through contemporary categorization. We will study Dickinson’s biography, her letters, and her historical context. Above all, though, we’ll devote careful, slow attention to her poems, thinking together about how their form and content collaborate to present us with something that to this day remains strikingly—breathtakingly—Dickinson’s own.
