Here’s What Previous Students Have to Say About Clockworks Academy!
Paul's A Fine Romance course was everything I hoped it would be. As someone who did not study literature in college, I always struggled with Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur even though I love Arthurian Legend. The lectures were informative and entertaining, and each week I came away with something new from the text I tried so many times to conquer. I cannot recommend this class enough!
Most people would be generally familiar with the Round Table but perhaps not its origins or all its characters. Dr. Lauren Chochinov presents a 600-year old magical tale in the form of a poem about Sir Gawain and explores its language, metrical schemes and context from all aspects. A very interesting and rewarding course!
I greatly enjoyed Dr Lauren's Gawain and the Green Knight course. I knew a bit about Arthur mythology but this opened my eyes to another story. Learning about the concurrent history and beliefs of the time helped me to fully understand and interpret this poem, and Dr Lauren is extremely knowledgeable on the subject. This was the perfect summer learning experience!
