This course explores the literary fantasy worlds inspired by the real Scotland and its rich folklore tradition. We will begin with early tales and ballads, then study the supernatural realms of writers from the 18th century to the present, including Robert Burns, James Hogg, James Barrie, Robert Louis Stevenson, and J.K. Rowling. We will also consider the worlds created in other media, such as the graphic novels of Grant Morrison and the television shows of Stephen Moffat.Taking this course will allow students to explore the supernatural worlds of Scotland with the actual land that inspired them. Before your journey, we will focus on an introduction to the literature; once in Scotland, we will be in a position to contrast the fantasy with the reality.
