About this Course
This English Literature course offers an in-depth exploration of fantasy literature and its postoj in molding Christian thought. Students will engage with the works of notable authors such as George MacDonald, G. K. Chesterton, J. R. R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, and C. S. Lewis. The semester-long journey will trace the evolution of fantasy from ancient epic and medieval allegory to the rise of high fantasy in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Focusing on the biblical themes and metanarratives that underpin these works, the course aims to "baptize students’ imaginations," as-phrased by C. S. Lewis in an introduction to George MacDonald's works. It promises to be a rich learning experience for students interested in the intersection of literature and religious thought.
