“The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald.
This course draws on New York City’s diverse cultural history to investigate how a particular place – here, one of the world’s most varied and vibrant literary and artistic hubs –can inspire and provoke the imagination to unparalleled heights. We will draw on a variety of disciplines – psychology, history, and aesthetics – to explore how literary artists transport their readers and audiences into the City’s past, present, and future. Authors will include Emma Lazarus, Walt Whitman, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Stephen Crane, Allen Ginsburg, Tom Wolfe, J.D. Salinger, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Bennett, Gary Shteyngart.
