The Art of Isak Dinesen/Karen Blixen.  (Brantly)
(3-4 credits) 

To some extent Karen Blixen was a literary anomaly, a throwback to an older aesthetic sensibility. In other repsects, her work comprises a unique response to the age in which she lived. Blixen's compelling prose has captured an international audience, a phenomenon facilitated by her ability to write in English, as well as her native tongue, Danish. This course examines the narrative art and the conceptual world of Blixen'sfiction from Seven Gothic Tales to The Last Tales, the problematic issues of Blixen's feminism, or lack thereof, and her role as a colonial author will also be descussed.
