Course Summary
In a course that mixes history, literature, and anthropology, students delve into the accounts through which different civilizations and societies have explained their origins. They perform comparative studies of these creationary tales, noting their similarities and seeking to understand their differences. Students will then explore cultural resilience – the study of how myths and folklore have survived for millennia by blending with new creationary myths, by evolving, and by finding new forms of expression in art, music, literature, film, and even video games.
The Cambridge Prep is based at Peterhouse, the oldest college in Cambridge.
