Mixed Lecture/Discussion

Medium intensity
Sir Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy is widely regarded as a modern classic, has been described by The New Statesman as “the most ambitious work since The Lord of the Rings,” and has been adapted onto stage, radio, and screen. The series is also deep and complex, drawing from a rich array of literary, philosophical, and theological ideas.
In this three-module series we will read, successively, the three novels in Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, juxtaposing each with selected materials that will allow us to read Pullman’s work both on its own and in conversation with other works. Students can join one, two, or all three modules. There are no prerequisites.
• Module 1: His Dark Materials in Context: The Golden Compass (a.k.a. Northern Lights) (October 2023)
• Module 2: His Dark Materials in Context: The Subtle Knife (December 2023)
• Module 3: His Dark Materials in Context: The Amber Spyglass (January 2023)
