Professor Borges: A Course on English Literature. Edited by Martin Arias and Martin Hadis.
New York: New Directions, 2013. Second Printing. A Fine tight unread copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. "Professor Borges:“is a compilation of the twenty-five lectures Borges gave in 1966 at the University of Buenos Aires, where he taught English literature. Starting with the Vikings’ kennings and Beowulf and ending with Stevenson and Oscar Wilde, the book traverses a landscape of ‘precursors,’ cross-cultural borrowings, and genres of expression, all connected by Borges into a vast interpretive web. Borges takes us on a startling, idiosyncratic, fresh, and highly opinionated tour of English literature, weaving together countless cultural traditions of the last three thousand years. Item #27337
