Class Description

This course will introduce students to a history of love songs across temporal, linguistic, and stylistic boundaries with the aim of introducing analytical techniques for thinking about love lyric and its changing aesthetics over time. Rather than being chronologically structured, tracing a history of love songs from medieval times to the present, this course will introduce songs of varied time periods by grouping them into topics including technique, language, genre, performance, and form.
