I enjoyed less On or About December, 1910. I think the slides were interesting. I'd love more on the novels, less on the excerpted quotations. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to take a course that combined literature and art so well. Since I am interested in ways of integrating material from other disciplines in my own classes, I was most intrigued with the Bloomsbury Group and this course.
Art informs the literature and visa versa.
Jesse did a great job of helping us to feel and know what this literary and artistic group was like. He organized the course and our time in segments that worked well together. He also did a good job of bringing the class together and truly hearing our questions and thoughts. Thank you for weaving together the circumstance, characters and philosophy of Bloomsbury. Jesse Matz presented readings, slides and video which promoted good discussion and gave substance to the ephemeral halo seeming to surround Bloomsbury.
