Fall Semester and Intro. to Literary Theory

Leave it to Professor Williams to make Literary Theory something to get excited about!  Studying great folk tales like Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast will be awesome!  And I don't know how I managed to do this, but I have NEVER seen or read Beauty and the Beast!  My daughter, Sara,  must have already been past the Disney stage when it came out.  We've read some preliminary information regarding what literary theory is, and I'm hoping that it will be clarified in class tomorrow.
