This course will examine both the works and the sites of English literature. In conjunction with our study of the city’s literary heritage, we will read a wide array of authors, from John Donne to Samuel Johnson to Virginia Woolf. The readings will focus in particular on Romantic and Victorian London, with selected works by such writers as William Blake, John Keats, Oscar Wilde, and Charles Dickens. We will also have the opportunity to take advantage of literary walking tours, visits to historic literary homes, and dramatic readings of literary works, among other organized activities. Since many of the readings are closely linked to the visual arts, we will tour a variety of museums, including the National and the Tate Galleries, the British Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Students in this course read, study, discuss, and write about contemporary British theater – that is British drama since World War ll. Among the playwrights to be studied are Samuel Beckett, John Osbourne, Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter, David Hare, Alan Ayckbourn, Peter Shaffer, Michael Frayn and Christopher Hampton. Since the course will be taught in London, classwork will be supplemented with performances of contemporary plays, along with the classics of world theater (depending on what is being staged in London at the time). Classwork will be augmented with performances at the Royal National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the West End and/or fringe performances and a backstage tour of the Royal National Theatre. The course will include four theater performances. Optional theater performances are available as well. The course will introduce students to the city of London as the literary and dramatic capital of the English speaking world. The British Library will be used as a major resource for literary research.
