Professor Borges: Twenty-five Literature Lessons (complete Works of Borges)

About This Novel
"I taught English literature at the university for a full forty semesters, and not only that, I also tried to convey my love for English literature." "Professor Borges: Twenty-Five Literature Lessons" brings together the complete content of the English literature course that Borges taught at the School of Philosophy and Literature at the University of Buenos Aires in 1966. In these twenty-five lessons, Borges takes us on a true journey through English literature, always staying close to his own readings and works. The journey begins in the mists of time, beginning with the arrival of the Angles, Jutes, and Saxons in England, continuing to the work of Samuel Johnson; wandering to Macpherson, the Romantic poets, and the Victorian era; offering a panoramic view of the lives and works of the Pre-Raphaelites; and ending in nineteenth-century Samoa with one of Borges's favorite writers, Robert Louis Stevenson. What ties these lectures together is an authentic enjoyment of literature, the affection with which Borges approached each work, and his desire to share his enthusiasm for each author and period he studied.
