Course Catalog Description:
In this course, we will explore the connections and parallels between music and literature, assessing both form and content and drawing upon various genres from both arts. We will examine some of the ways that musical and literary texts can change, subvert, or augment each other by applying critical and literary theories to intertextual readings. Among the subjects we may discuss are how authors use music in their work, both structurally and topically; how musicians use literature, both as lyric and as subject matter; and how members of each group engage the artistic assumptions of the other. Students will gain a greater appreciation of the varied forms of creative expression and an increased understanding of how they influence each other through close reading and listening, discussions, reflective writing, and presentations.

Class Description:
The Literature of Rock and Roll

In this course, we will study how the mass culture of rock and roll music, and its impact on our lives, is interpreted by key critics and musicians. By reading and discussing several novels set in the rock world and several works of non-fiction about the lives of rock musicians, we will find ways to integrate our own tastes and obsessions with popular music. Short papers, group projects, and close analysis of the texts will be required. DVD documentaries and music will be played on a weekly basis.
