Literature: Dickens and the struggles of life
For Charles Dickens, writing and worrying went hand in hand. His books were knitted together out of his own anxieties and struggles. And yet, despite the weight of all these worries, his novels are never depressing. To read Dickens is to glimpse the possibilities of new life. We all probably intend to read Dickens ‘one day.’ We all know his characters from various films and TV adaptations, so perhaps the time has finally come to get stuck into a major work. On this eight-week course we will read ‘Little Dorrit.’ We will also study some of Dickens's essays, short stories, and letters. You may already be a Dickens enthusiast, or a complete newcomer to his work. Either way, I hope that you will join us to explore a writer whose books still have the power to move and enlighten us today.

Literature: British Literature in the Belle Epoque.
This course will explore four novels: The Turn of the Screw by
Henry James; Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame; Sons
and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence; The Good Soldier by Ford
Madox Ford, and the work of one poet, Thomas Hardy,
specifically Poems 1912-1913, a record of his reactions to the
death of his first wife.
We will discuss the end of Empire, the rise of Modernism and
Feminism and psychological study, and the political situation
leading up to 1914 and changing perceptions of individual and
national identity.
There will be ample opportunity for discussion and a chance
to reassess what may in some instances be familiar texts.
