Professor Borges: A Course on English Literature
Professor Borges: A Course on English Literature | Jorge Luis Borges
5 posts | 3 read | 7 to read
Writing forHarper s magazine, Edgardo Krebs describes Professor Borges: A compilation of the twenty-five lectures Borges gave in 1966 at the University of Buenos Aires, where he taught English literature. Starting with the Vikings kennings and Beowulf and ending with Stevenson and Oscar Wilde, the book traverses a landscape of precursors, cross-cultural borrowings, and genres of expression, all connected by Borges into a vast interpretive web. This is the most surprising and useful of Borges s works to have appeared posthumously. "

"I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library." Got a chance to spend some time at my favorite library while I was home. Here's hoping that it'll be enough to tide me over until the next time I'm home. #library #librarylove

I felt like I was back in uni listening to an amazing professor I probably would have gotten a crush on. 😂🦄💚💜 Insightful and a good start if you're maybe thanking of studying English lit.
