Art Appreciation: Vermeer and the Dutch Interior
The core of the course is a close but leisurely engagement with the work, first of Johannes Vermeer himself, secondly of his closest contemporaries, and thirdly of the emerging new world of the Dutch Golden Age. We shall consider Vermeer's work chronologically, though there will be some grouping to allow discussion of thematic interests and concerns. The works particularly of Gerrit Dou, Gabriel Metsu and Pieter de Hoogh will never be far from us as points of comparison.

Literature: Fables of Robert Louis Stevenson
The course presents all twenty-two “fables” of Robert Louis Stevenson, some as short as a few lines, others running to several pages, all of them challenging the reader with unexpected approaches to human life. We will read all the fables in six weeks, coming together on Zoom to share responses and questions, examine the literary merits and explore the ways the fables might enhance our understanding of ourselves and others we come into contact with day by day. There are podcasts for each fable to supplement our discussions, as well as space on the Canvas site to continue the Zoom discussions.
