Literature and the Environment (Q3164)

30 credits, Level 6

Spring teaching

This module aims to look at a range of literary works from Beckett's Endgame (1958) up to the present, with particular attention to how questions of the environment are explored in literature. It is envisaged that there will be a creative writing element within the module, developing around a so-called field trip to a place of local interest (e.g. the new incinerator at Newhaven).
