This anthology was created in the fall of 2017 by honors students at Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH for the course ENGL 205 Literature and the Moral Imagination. ENGL 205 is part of Xavier's core curriculum: all Xavier students take ENGL 205 and three other courses in the Ethics/Religion and Society program.
The theme for this section of ENGL 205 is: Can Books Save the Earth? Throughout the semester, we've explored the role that literature and other art might play in helping us confront climate change and other environmental dilemmas.
For this assignment, students created profiles of "Anthropocene artists"--that is, living artists whom they believe exemplify some vision of the Anthropocene. Students selected and researched their artists; they've also introduced their artist to the class in panel presentations. (Profiles are grouped here into virtual "panels").
