Epiphanies in Literature

Joyce, Wordsworth, Proust, and more!

Technically, literary epiphanies aren’t always epiphanies. Sometimes they’re anagnorises, moments of critical self-discovery, or those memories Wordsworth called “spots of time.” But literature is full of them, from Joyce to Proust to Rimbaud and more. They may occur in formal literature, poetry, nonfiction, detective novels, and almost every other sort of writing. Dr. Carol Andrews, associate professor emerita of literature, guides Leigh and P. T. in a discussion of epiphanies in literature. Join us as we scan the skies (just days after Twelfth Night) for flashes of insight.
