University of LeedsBritish Literature and the Brontës
Module Leader: Dr. Beth Palmer
This module will provide students with an introduction to British Literature with a particular focus on well-known authors from the region
including the Brontës. Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë lived at Haworth Parsonage, only a few miles from Leeds which will be visited as part of this module. During the 1840s and 50s, they wrote some of the most original and challenging fiction of the Victorian period which retains its popularity and still inspires criticism, fiction, popular culture, and film adaptations. Other British authors such as Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson and the Lakeland Poets may be included in the curriculum. The School of English at the University of Leeds is one of the top-rated departments in the country and ranks in the top 10 for Research.

Charlotte Brontë: Jane Eyre and Villette (July 4 - July 10)
Course Director: Ulrike Horstmann-Guthrie
Like her sisters in their fiction, Charlotte Brontë tackled controversial subjects in unconventional ways. This course places her novels Jane Eyre (1847) and Villette (1853) in their historical and social context, and discusses the issue of gender, which so greatly influenced their reception, as well as different critical approaches to reading them today.
