Start Time(s):

This class will look at various versions of Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel Jane Eyre (1848) We will identify some key themes and features of the novel, and ask how they translate into film Why has this novel been filmed so many times? Are there inherent limitations to this process? Why is it so difficult for films to give us the “plain Jane” that Bronte described? We’ll talk about novel form, film form, and Victorian feminism too We’ll look at examples from various film adaptations, from Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine in 1944, to Zeffirelli’s 1996 film with William Hurt And of course there are the various BBC television serials Just to let you know, Professor Butte's favorite is George C Scott and Susannah York (1970; it’s a little hard to find) Finally, what do we learn about Bronte’s great story? We'll end class with a British High Tea George Butte has taught in the English department at Colorado College since 1974 He specializes in the 18th and 19th century British novel, and teaches many film theory courses, with special interests in Hitchcock and film comedy His most recent book is “I Know That You Know That I Know: Narrating Subjects from Moll Flanders to Marnie” (Ohio State Press, 2004) Professor Butte received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University He was a Woodrow Wilson Fellow from 1967-1968 and Rhodes Scholar from 1968-1970 Please register for this class through the Enrich Your Life! website or by calling 719-389-6939]]>

“We may feel bitterly how little our poems can do in the face of seemingly out of control technological power and seemingly limitless corporate greed, yet it has always been true that poetry can break isolation, show us to ourselves when we are outlawed or made invisible, remind us of beauty where no beauty seems possible, remind us of kinship where all is represented as separation" Adrienne Rich In this one-day workshop we will explore the power of poetry Through exercises designed to uncover our most compelling material and through discussion of technique in writing, we will cultivate the ability to write poetry that has the power to connect us with ourselves and with others Through our own writing and through reading the work of contemporary poets, we will also investigate the power of poetry to bring pleasure, to transform experience, and to enlarge our understanding of one another No prior writing experience or knowledge of poetry is necessary The number of students for this class is limited to 12 “I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine” Emily Dickinson Jane Hilberry has taught literature and Creative Writing at Colorado College for twenty-five years She also teaches arts-based Leadership Development courses in the United States and Canada Her books of poetry include Body Painting and, with her father Conrad Hilberry, This Awkward Art: Poems by a Father and Daughter She has published a book of art criticism and biography titled The Erotic Art of Edgar Britton and co-authored book on email titled Get Smart!
