...Chiang says. Three years of studio classes didn’t appeal to Chiang either, so he decided to take the bits he liked from both VES and English and strike out on his own. The result, under the guidance of Bernbaum Professor of Literature Leo Damrosch, was a creative thesis titled “’If Answerable Style I Can Obtain...’: An Analysis and Account of Illustrating Paradise Lost” — a film noir-style graphic rethinking of John Milton’s classic poem, which won Chiang a summa...
...you’re up for a bit of a challenge, you might want to look at A-72, “The Enlightenment Invention of the Modern Self,” taught by superstar crowd-pleaser Leo Damrosch.

Damrosch likes to note that this is the first single-volume Rousseau biography to be written in English. In an interview with The Crimson, Damrosch characterizes the only other...
...poems are [about] characters, not me,” Robinson says. She adds “I don’t write poetry to write about my life, but it ends up there anyway,” and Harvard readers will recognize references to English Professor Leo Damrosch and the T subway. Her poetic voice is compelling enough to bind these disparate elements together, but their union is sometimes mysterious: despite their confident language and intriguing contents, some of the poems are opaque and difficult to understand. The title poem, “The Life of a Hunter...
