Description:

Study word and image in unison and gain a deeper understanding of art and literature and their intertwined histories. You will encounter the most important periods and movements of European, British and American art and literature. You will also broaden your horizons by exploring the arts of other cultures, including those of the Pacific, Africa and the Americas.

The course is distinctive in its breadth of coverage, drawing as it does on a wealth of expertise in the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing and the Art History department. For example, you might explore the medieval period through texts such as Julian of Norwich’s Revelations of Divine Love or Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, as well as monuments such as the great cathedrals, including those of Norwich and Canterbury. Or you might examine the 20th century through the history of modernist texts and modernist art by studying movements such as Surrealism. This course will equip you with key skills in expert interpretation, critical thinking, and confident communication. If you aspire to expand and deepen your understanding of texts and artworks from a uniquely wide array of contexts, to develop your intellectual and professional skills, and to study with outstanding students and academics, this is the course for you.
