Auden’s syllabus

I am interrupting my beach vacation to share this “infamously difficult” syllabus from 1941. It was for an epic class titled “Fate and the Individual in European Literature” at the University of Michigan, and the professor was none other than the Anglo-American poet W. H. Auden! What is so noteworthy about all this is that he assigned 32 literary works, totaling 6,000 pages! More details here. (Hat tip: Alfred Brophy.)
