Renesan – Faust: The Devil is in the Details

@ This event meets three times: April 23, 30, and May 7. The story of Faust–who sells his soul to the devil–is one of the most popular themes in literature, art, music, and cinema. The combination of the magician-philosopher, God, Satan, and a beautiful woman, and the potential for damnation or salvation, makes the story infinitely adaptable in numerous religious, philosophical, and dramatic treatments. We will discuss the historical figure of Faust (c. 1480-1540) and two of the most important and influential literary works on the Faust legend, Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus and Goethe’s Faust. Robert Glick holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Indiana University and has taught many classes on English, French, German, and Russian literature for Renesan.
