Does anyone know of a current college level literature class analyzing Moby Dick? I know it was a popular book to study in the past, but I think I heard professors were moving away from classic literature because there was so much analysis for LLMs to have trained on. Now that they are so capable on anything, I hope classes are returning to the great works.

For anyone interested (Melvillians), I found some at Princeton, Rutgers, SUNY Maritime College, Harvard continuing Ed, and this Dartmouth course on Coursera:

Also some programs in California: UCSC, CSU East Bay, Santa Monica College, and Orange Coast College in Honors Lit.
