Billings is a great professor. Because instructors of this course can pick essentially any material that they find interesting, they always show up to class super enthusiastic. Billings is no exception. He is clearly passionate about English lit. Moreover, he adopts a discussion-based lecture style. No doubt, you will have to do quite a bit of reading and writing for this class, and the Prof will know if you have not kept up with the material. However, I genuinely enjoyed the entire process and came out as a better writer. Highly recommend

Professor Millier is a very passionate teacher who makes literature fun and applicable to real life (even if it's fiction). I appreciated her ability to contextualize the time period that the novel was written in order to convey the significance of the work to its era but also to today. This course was a heavy grind for me (somebody who enjoys reading but isn't a book worm), I spent many hours in Davis reading these books and I think overall it was worth it. Just know that you are expected to read about a book a week for the entire semester.

Professor Parini brought life to the room in his reading of poetry. He shared personal stories of his life experiences with certain poets and other authors. It made for one of my favorite classroom environments that I have been apart of here at Middlebury.
