| Course Overview |
This class will discuss Henry James's The Turn of the Screw. James is a writer who weaves complex and elaborate texts about human relationships, conflicts, and social oppression that are difficult to express in words. He is extremely conscious in his use of point of view and effectively captures the human psychology. Let's read and understand the themes of his work while carefully considering such methods of expression. The novel is set in 19th-century England. It is necessary to read the novel with an understanding of class, education, and views on gender and sexuality at that time. You will learn that knowledge outside the text is indispensable for interpretation. |
