This course suits students fascinated by multiple literary periods or those wishing to explore connections between different eras and genres.

Instruction comes from distinguished scholars, authors, and critics actively involved in research, publishing influential works, contributing to national media, and advising prestigious organizations such as the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Department for Education, and other national and international institutions.
