Fall 2025 - This is an amazing chance to learn about a single novel from someone who truly, wholeheartedly and earnestly loves every aspect of it. Grossman comes across at times like an obsessive crazy person but I think it (for the most part) improves his teaching. You've got a great opportunity to learn about the context but also in a way that allows for plenty of class discussion and engagement: this is one of the few classes I've ever taken that led to a genuine interest in other people's final essays and term papers. The one thing I would say is that Grossman is occasionally overly interested in his own pedagogy and spends a laborious amount of time speaking about why he is choosing to do what he does.

Winter 2017 - Outstanding professor. I was initially not very interested in the material, but her lectures are amazing and she is clearly passionate about her subject matter. The class had a lot of reading but the books were almost always interesting so I felt my time investment was worth it. The class is great and Hollander is actually my favorite professor in the English department!
