Leader: Don Melander | Facilitator: Alice Nye
Because Glenn Stuart is doing The History of Troilus and Cressida in his Shakespeare course this term, we are offering this epic poetry course, even though Troilus and Cressida appear only as minor characters in The Iliad. (I use Richmond Lattimore’s translation, but any translation you choose will be fine for the course).
Don Melander is a Professor of English Emeritus at New England College, where he served as a professor of literature and humanities for over 50 years, including 3 English courses per year for 8 years in NEC’s AA and BA programs at the NH State Prison, and did stints as Director of the British Campus in Arundel, Sussex, Coordinator of the Arts, Literature, and Theatre Collegium, Curriculum Committee Chair, and VPAA. He holds a PhD in American Literature from Syracuse University.
