This course’s historicist approach to the study of literature rests upon reading texts within a shared context. Working from the belief that no text exists in isolation but is the product of the time in which it was produced, students are encouraged to explore the relationships that exist between texts and the contexts within which they are written, received and understood. Studying texts within a shared context enables them to investigate and connect them, drawing out patterns of similarity and difference using a variety of reading strategies and perspectives. The course privileges the process of making autonomous meaning, encouraging students to debate and challenge the interpretations of other readers as they develop their own informed personal responses. The historicist method of studying texts diachronically (across a very broad time period) is at the centre of the specification. In ‘Love Through the Ages’, the theme of love, one of the most central themes in literature, is explored across time.
