Literature: Representations of Childhood
From the most idealised to the most troubled narratives, childhood has consistently been a source of inspiration in literature. In this course, we will be considering how a range of authors represent childhood, the themes that connect with this idea, and how different contexts have changed how childhood is portrayed. Through our discussions, we will be analysing texts across different genres, reflecting on the questions and challenges that writers face when representing this profoundly influential stage in life.

History: Beginners' History : Before 1066
In this term, we begin by considering the later reign of King Eadgar and his efforts to achieve a kind of unified England, but also how English practices and texts became unique. This will involve examining the peculiarities of the English Benedictine Reform Movement, the impact it made among the clergy and also social and cultural consequences, as well as for the English monarchy itself. After that, we will address the feuds, administrative and executive failures of the monarchy in the years after Eadgar’s death, and why these errors would finally cause the downfall of the House of Wessex.

Art Appreciation: Royal Portraits (1395 - 1658)
During this five week course we will explore a number of
portraits of British Monarchs. We will discover the
anonymous Wilton Diptych, Holbein’s portrayal of Henry VIII,
the evolving portraits of Elizabeth I throughout her life; the
paintings of Charles I by Anthony Van Dyck, and several
portraits of the de-facto monarch Oliver Cromwell.
The course will introduce the lives of the artists, the historical
and socio-political contexts of the paintings, and discuss the
changing perceptions of the monarchy as shown in this 250
year long history.
Images of the portraits will be available for you online. Come
along and tap into your inner art-critic.

Literature: Selected plays by Brian Friel
Plays of Brian Friel will be studied, read and workshopped. The group will discuss his stage devices and how his plays might be produced. We shall look at aspects of how he creates characters and tells epic stories on stage that resonate with current modern theatre audiences. His plays use intriguing theatrical metaphors and poetic structures to reflect on the ways in which Ireland has evolved, resisted and grown over its history. Friel’s writing produces powerful imagery on-stage that take audiences into the heart of the issues he explores. Over ten weeks, two to three plays will be discussed and workshopped to appreciate the various theatrical devices that Friel often uses.
