Abstract
In this video, the poet Peter Anderson discusses the heart from a literary perspective, in terms of metaphor and symbolism. He argues that the heart has been used as a metaphor for life in literature and art for centuries but that heart transplants challenge our traditional understanding of the heart as a symbol of the self. This is the fifth video in Week 1 of the Medicine and the Arts Massive Open Online Course.
