ENGL 370: Folklore and the Fairy Tale
This class will explore archetypal stories (some familiar, some new) involving tricksters, witches, and violent men—some classics of European and African tradition as well as adaptations and modernizations by contemporary writers such as Angela Carter and Jasmine Sawers. In groups, the class will create their own adaptations of a fairy tale.
