What the college says

Students who have a desire to study texts in depth. The aim of this course is to encourage students to explore aspects of a central literary theme (love) as seen over time, using unseen material and set texts. Students should be prepared for Love through the ages by reading widely in the topic area, reading texts from a range of authors and times. Although not an exhaustive list of aspects of Love through the ages, areas that can usefully be explored include: romantic love of many kinds; love and sex; love and loss; social conventions and taboos; love through the ages according to history and time; love through the ages according to individual lives (young love, maturing love); jealousy and guilt; truth and deception; proximity and distance; marriage; approval and disapproval. Students need to engage with the materials and be prepared to discuss their opinions as well as exploring ideas presented by others in the group, the teacher and critics.
