Course overview
Course description
We will discuss each of these books in order, and consider how they connect with our own ideas of the period. The tutor will supply a reading schedule on Canvas.
We will begin with Loving. Please read to the end of the letter Raunce writes to his mother at around the mid-point of the book for discussion at the first session. This is a book without chapters or 'parts', but there are some line-breaks - one follows the paragraph after the letter is written, when Raunce drops off to sleep.
Learning Outcomes:
- Share my responses to the novels.
- Identify and interpret themes and ideas, and consider how these reflect the period they are published in.
- Discuss writing styles, language and structure.
- Compare and contrast the novels.
- Reflect on the relevance of these novels to the twenty-first century.
