Enchantment and Fairy-Stories
Led by R.J. Snell
Among some, there is a mood and call for re-enchantment of world and imagination, largely as a response to the loss of the sense of the sacred and radical immanentizing of our lives. This may or may not be a good idea: the classic 1947 Tolkien essay, “On Fairy-Stories” has much to offer in reaching a reasonable judgment.
Reading prior to seminar is not required. Lunch is provided, as are all reading materials.
All Princeton undergraduate or graduate students are warmly invited.
