As distribution requirements are liberalized at many institutions, college science teachers are searching for ways to reach the increasing number of students who do not take science courses because they do not appreciate how basic science is important to their studies in the arts and humanities. This article describes a new interdisciplinary course taught jointly by a physicist (the author) and an English instructor that was attractive to a broad spectrum of Hiram College's liberal arts students and exposed them to a substantial introduction to physics and its influence on modern literature.
