​All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players...
“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.”
Education…from E ducere…to draw others out of “darkness”.
Department Goals:
To borrow from a famous and a favourite syllabus
…by Prof. David F. Wallace (died 2008)
The object of our department is
“To provide competence in critical reading, knowledge of formal characteristics of plays, novels and short stories, including their development as genres”.
In less narcotizing words, our department aims to show our students some ways to read fiction more deeply, to come up with more interesting insights to how pieces of fiction work, to have informed, intelligent reasons for liking or disliking a piece of fiction, and to write—clearly, persuasively, and above all interestingly—about ideas.
