Course description
Working with a selected text, you will attend lectures and sessions that introduce you to historical contexts, critical approaches, and adaptions. You will be encouraged to develop your own critically informed response to the work. In addition you will have the space to reflect on your own reading interests, learn about poetry analysis, and find out how to explore texts you have not encountered before.
During the week, you will learn more about the English course at Oxford, and have the opportunity to ask questions of our academics and student ambassadors. We want you to enjoy some new literary experiences, and to extend your confidence in exploring different perspectives by building upon your school studies in order to help you make a competitive application to the University.
