ENG 255 E WORLD CREATION THROUGH IMAGINATION

In "The Decay of Lying," Oscar Wilde uses one of his main characters to reveal a unique perspective on the imagination. The text pushes its reader to see the imaginative process as not just a methodology for those who wish to dwell in a life of fantasy but as a mindset we all utilize when engaging with the world around us. As a class we will explore this concept, how it applies to other works of literature, and how those tales changed the worldview of readers in their time period.
