Reports of Aesthetic Realism Classes

Included on this page are reports of some of the thrilling classes I've had the honor to attend—most of them written by me, and several by my colleagues. For nearly four decades, Eli Siegel lectured on a wide variety of subjects—on the arts and sciences; ethics; history; poetry and prose; the works of Shakespeare, Ibsen, Dickens and more; noted people of the past, and events that were happening around the world at the very time when he was speaking. Now, Ellen Reiss continues this beautiful and careful looking at the literature, thought, and events of the world. She is also the editor of the weekly international periodical The Right of Aesthetic Realism to Be Known.
