This is the final project guidelines for an undergraduate course in Electronic Literature. Originally the project asked students to adapt a fairytale into Twine, but as the pandemic hit in Spring 2020, the guidelines expanded so that students had the option of making an interactive story about their experience during the pandemic.
Pricksongs & Descants, originally published in 1969, is a virtuoso performance that established its author”already a William Faulkner Award winner for his first novel”as a writer of enduring power and unquestionable brilliance, a promise he has fulfilled over a stellar career. It also began Coover’s now-trademark riffs on fairy tales and bedtime stories. Pricksongs & Descants is a cornerstone of Robert Coover’s remarkable oeuvre and a brilliant work by a major American writer.
