What the college says

This course is intended for students who enjoy all aspects of reading (including finding out about the often extraordinary life and times of the writer) and debating possible meanings in texts. You'll have the opportunity to explore a range of work, including plays, poetry, and novels from different periods in time. The course takes a historicist approach to literature, working with the view that each text is influenced by the times in which it was written, and that it may be interpreted differently according to the social contexts or beliefs of the reader.
