History: What really led to The Second World War?

Churchill said: ‘It could have been prevented without a single shot being fired, but no one would listen.’ His counterpart, Neville Chamberlain, wrote: I know I can save the country and I do not believe anyone else can.’  Some in France, meanwhile, initially failed to take Hitler seriously. Unlike Poland, both France and Chamberlain have been blamed for failing to stand up to Hitler. But is this fair, given the memories of the First Word War? Beginning with the Polish port of Gdańsk (Danzig) and the ‘Polish Corridor,’ this course explores how Britain, France, Germany and Italy became involved in one of the world’s most formative events whose legacy continues to be felt today.

History: Anglo-Saxon Culture 500-1100CE

A short (5 sessions) introduction to the range and complexity of Anglo-Saxon culture based upon selected survivals in the archaeological record ranging from exquisite, illuminated manuscripts to stunning portable timepieces.

There will also be extensive discussion of how difficult questions persist about the interpretation of the period and its survival in the archaeological record. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion and questions throughout.

Literature: German Literature Post 1945

This course, composed of new texts, builds on similar courses on German literature given by Stephen Smith. Four novels and one poet will be analysed and placed in context over the 10 weeks’ duration of the course. The first text, The Passenger by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz, was actually written in 1938, but having recently been rediscovered, it is too good not to include. We will begin with this novel and then explore: Vertigo - WG Sebald. Lost - Hans Ulrich Treichel. Kairos - Jenny Erpenbeck. The Poetry of Durs Grunbein. The course will offer great scope for discussion of excellent texts, which are intellectually, imaginatively and emotional stimulating.
