Literature and Mysticism

0.5 credits · Undergraduate

Despite the fact that mystical experience has traditionally been deemed "ineffable," or indescribable, volumes of literature have been written describing and reflecting on it. This course examines such texts in the English literary tradition with an eye to uncovering the ways in which language is used to say the unsayable. Prerequisite: 4.0 university credits. Offered only at Trent University Durham.
