Modern Catholic Writing: Faith, Witness, Ecology
Peter J. Casarella
Description from DukeHub
This course surveys literature that is 'Catholic' in a broad sense of the term that was written between the 16th century and the present. Three themes are explored: 1.) the relationship of place and cultural location to writing, the role of faith and witnessing to the faith in its interplay with the autonomy and creativity of the artist, and 3.) the question of the land and ecological stewardship.
