Additional Course Details:

In fall 2024 this course will focus on the Beatles.  We will study their careers as performing and recording artists through 1970, and we will consider various ways in which they influenced and/or reflected important cultural, political, and artistic trends of the 1960s. A complete syllabus will be uploaded here over the summer.
