This class has been canceled for the semester.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald had a mixed reception and disappointing sales on publication in 1925, yet by the 1940s it was praised as an undisputed classic of American literature. The main character is an embodiment of the American dream, and this course deals with Gatsby’s life as a dreamer. For the instructor, it is the great American novel. This course includes reading the chapters, discussing them, and finally seeing one of the many motion pictures of the novel.
