A thematic approach to understanding, analyzing and appreciating literature, drawing on the work of Key West novelists Ernest Hemingway and Jane Bowles, playwright Tennessee Williams, and poet Elizabeth Bishop, all writers who lived for a time in this southernmost city. The travel course spent a month in Key West reading, writing and touring the city's literary and historic landmarks, as well as exploring its architectural roots and off-the-beaten-path natural worlds.
