Tune in to Lit Happens as two dedicated HSC English educators guide you through Module A: Textual Conversations, this time with John Donne’s timeless poetry and Margaret Edson’s modern play W;t. In this episode, we unpack the purpose of the module, delve into the metaphysical richness of Donne’s works and the poignant reflections of W;t, examine their resonances and dissonances, and offer practical strategies for crafting a standout thesis. Perfect for educators seeking fresh teaching angles or students aiming to deepen their comparative analysis, this episode bridges 17th-century wit and 20th-century introspection to illuminate life, death, and the human experience.
