Shiver with terror in a dark graveyard; fit your gas mask in an ecstasy of fumbling; press down slivers of rusty meat at Lowood School; discover Lady Audley’s dreadful secret; spend a day in turn-of-the-century Dublin. Reading – the world in your hands.
Reading is more readily and easily available now than ever: browse a library; go into a bookshop; click on an internet site… The treasury of literature opens to you. But do you see a sweet-shop window before your, or a minefield? Are the choices exciting, or daunting? Would you like some help in finding and choosing and in getting the most from literary texts?

These courses can help you to acquire skills of close critical analysis and the knowledge and understanding of context that will enable you to study, write about, appreciate, and above all enjoy literary texts.
