Course Summary
Loosely basing itself on the undergraduate syllabus, this course engages with some of the great works of English literature amidst Cambridge’s evocative surroundings. Working from a range of texts drawn from every age, students improve their skills in close reading, textual criticism, and clear, informed writing. Each student engages in a close study of a text by a Cambridge author or a Shakespeare play and presents a special project in the final week.
