What the college says

Critical opinions of the texts are to be studied, and the texts placed in appropriate contexts by theatre-going and historical research. The course is designed to enable students to develop their knowledge, to enjoy and to be able to evaluate literature from the time of Chaucer to the present day. A variety of plays, novels and poetry will be studied, but students will learn most if they experience their lessons within the context of appropriate wider reading and cultural interests. During the course, students are encouraged to develop and to express their own informed insights.
