Classics, English, and History

Do you want to develop a deep understanding of the human experience in Europe and its associated cultures from the earliest times to the very present? Do you want to explore issues of memory, truth, curiosity, and understanding that have fascinated people at all times and all places? This program will bring students to the heart of vital questions about society, history, culture, and life itself, and deep into the array of texts that are the result of millennia of lives lived. Students will not only encounter written words but gain key skills in interpreting evidence of every kind – material, oral, visual, and aural – through dynamic lectures and small group tuition. Key modules from the three cognate subjects of Classics, English, and History will be consolidated by small-group tuition in thematic cross-disciplinary modules on issues such as cultural transmission, intertextuality, history of ideas, and political thought.
