[Note: I am podcasting two classes this semester. The shorter podcasts are from the close reading course; the longer ones, e.g. this one, are from the Renaissaince lyric course]
We look at what makes Southwell's "Burning Babe" work, and what doesn't: students defend the poem; and we look at some particularly gorgeous passages from Marlowe's "Hero and Leander."
Last class before vacation.
