Ever since its publication in 1954, Nobel laureate William Golding’s iconic novel Lord of the Flies has been a mainstay of syllabi and reading lists throughout the world. A harrowing story of a group of British boys who are stranded on an uninhabited island during a time of war, the narrative develops complex themes regarding violent tendencies in human nature and the way that group psychology and power struggles can lead to fatal consequences.
Joseph Luzzi, professor of literature at Bard College, leads participants through a detailed analysis and examination of a work that is celebrated for its narrative force and psychological tensions.
