The Philosophy Summer School will tackle some of the really big questions. We will engage in lively seminar discussions, close textual analysis and exegesis (critical explanation and interpretation of a text), use thought experiments to isolate philosophical intuitions and ideas, and explore our own and others attempted solutions to philosophical problems.
An intensive five-day Summer School looking at literature from a wide range of periods and contexts, and exploring a range of theoretical lenses, including historicist, feminist, post-colonial and psychoanalytic criticism.
An introduction to various critical approaches, including historicism and feminism, which will be used to explore early English literature. Ideal as a preparation to undergraduate study.
This course will explore Romanticism, the Rise of the Novel, and Modernism with students being exposed to different critical approaches including post-colonial theory and the 'death of the author'.
The English Summer School – Part 3 will cover contemporary English Literature, including prose fiction, poetry and drama. We will be covering psychoanalytic criticism and theories of the canon as part of this Summer School.
