Literature: Contemporary British Fiction
This course will consider and analyse the following authors and their texts. These are: The Stranger’s Child - Alan Hollinghurst. The Blue Flower - Penelope Fitzgerald. A Pale View of Hills - Kazuo Ishiguro. Last Orders - Graham Swift. On Chesil Beach - Ian McEwan. These texts will provide a window into the different regions of Britain during the last fifty years, decades of major change in the social fabric and political nature of Britain, though several of our texts will trace these changes back to the earlier part of the twentieth century, and in doing so, we will encounter themes of identity, class and the decline of Empire. There will be much to prompt discussion and challenge our assumptions.
This course is funded by Greater London Combined Authority.

Creative Writing: Show and Tell
This workshop will re-examine the golden rule in creative writing “Show don’t tell.” With published extracts from a variety of genres, both fiction and creative non- fiction, you will see what is meant by effective showing. How emotions, thoughts, reactions are described rather than explained to make the story so much more engaging. You’ll learn how to apply this to your work with great effect. Rather than ‘don’t tell’ you’ll learn where telling and summary are essential for pace and plot. This course is intended for those who have some experience of creative writing.
This course is funded by the Education Skills and Funding Agency.

The last 50 years of the Ottoman Empire continues to drive current events and politics in Europe and the Middle East.

We finish by considering the rise of the new secular state of Turkey and the legacy of the Ottomans and why a century after its end the Ottoman Empire is still relevant throughout southeastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.

History: The Habsburgs
In an age when family history has become popular, we look at one of the longest-lived and most influential families in European history. This family - which developed from being minor nobility in the early Holy Roman Empire to the holders of the title of Emperor - is still recognisable after over 1,000 years of existence. At one stage it controlled vast territories in Europe, America, and the Far East and even in its last stages of territorial control it was only removed as a result of external rather than internal forces.
