| Course description | In his bestselling Roman thriller, true to his title Gadda constructs his ideal reader as one fully committed to observing the messy process that goes on in the mind as we map the world.
While focusing on one of the classics of European Modernism, the course systematically opens it up for investigation through a variety of methodological approaches.
A wider than usual range of learning tools (maps, diagrams, special editions and a wealth of Edinburgh-based online resources) supplements the course. |
