Hello!

On Monday, we'll be talking about love, hate, grief, and loss. 

Please read the following readings in advance of Monday's class.  All of these are intensely personal examinations of loss of a loved one in what was the mass media of their time--in Bernard's case, a sermon (in the 12th century), in Lewis' case, a short paperback book (1960s), and in Wilkinson's case, an article on a website (2014).

Bernard of Clairvaux, Excerpt from Sermon 26 On the Song of Songs
Excerpts from C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed
Alexis Wilkinson, Amidst the Media Frenzy Over My Becoming the First Black Woman President of the Harvard Lampoon, My Best Friend Died
