Additional information
In lectures and tutorials students will engage with key theories that seek to explain the relationship between politics and literature. Students will read, analyse and discuss a selection of fiction and non-fiction – genres, stories, novels, poetry, and performance – to explore the ways in which literature might offer alternative and imaginative insights on and interventions into politics.
