\"Napoleon\"<\/a>It is that time of year again and we are in the middle of our online course<\/a> launches for another term.\u00a0 We are offering\u00a0 40 courses this term including our new courses in Nineteenth Century European Literature<\/a>,\u00a0 Age of Revolution<\/a> and\u00a0 The Modern American Novel: an introduction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Developing the first two in parallel was a wonderful experience and I would recommend anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the era to study them together.\u00a0 When the novels you are reading are written by people living the history you are studying it gives a whole extra dimension to each.\u00a0 The 19th century French society that Madame Bovary inhabits is shaped by the revolutions that had gone before – radical or otherwise.<\/p>\n

The Modern American novel takes you from Gatsby to Beloved and American Pastoral\u00a0 – a completely different world but just as fascinating.<\/p>\n

So if you would enjoy exploring these worlds over the next couple of months or are interested in Archaeology<\/a>, Art History<\/a>, English literature<\/a>, Creative Writing<\/a>, Economics<\/a>, History<\/a>, Local history<\/a> or Philosophy <\/a>do take a look at what is available.<\/p>\n
