Study English in the heart of England! This program in London offers ENGL 290: Studies in Literature for Non-Majors. We will focus our reading on writers, both historic and contemporary, who wrote in and about London. The course satisfies the group A breadth requirement.

Visits to literary landmarks like the homes of Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf and John Keats, as well as walking tours focused on beloved characters like Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter will give students a feel for the lived experiences of London-based writers and the presence the city itself has in literature. We will also visit other iconic London sites, like the Tower of London and the British Museum, to explore the connections between historical events/places and the writing of the time.

Students will read, discuss, and write reflectively about selections from multiple genres from historical periods spanning from Tudor times to the 21st century. Texts may include short stories, poems, and excerpts from novels and plays from authors like Charles Dickens, John Keats, William Blake, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Virginia Woolf, Hanif Kureishi, Brigid Brophy, Monica Ali, and Buchi Emecheta.
