This module provides an overview of the history of poetry from the ancient world to the present. It specialises in teaching students how to critically analyse formal, contextual and stylistic aspects of poetry and introduces them to a wide range of poets, poems and movements.
This module in the History department explores the long-running western fascination with the ancient world in a wide variety of contexts from 1750 onwards and uses a broad range of primary and secondary sources. I assisted Professor Kate Fisher with the teaching on this course.
On these days, seminars were taught to visiting groups of GCSE and A-Level students to encourage them to consider the possibility of a university education.
This module covers the reception of Greek literature – in particular The Iliad, The Odyssey, Sappho’s fragments, and Greek tragedy – throughout the British literary tradition. I assisted Dr Henry Power with the teaching on this course.
This module explores literature in relation to its context. It covers texts like Atrahasis, The Bible, The Odyssey, and Beowulf and explores their mythology and meaning within their contemporary societies. Later in the course the students are encouraged to examine the classical reception present in poetry, plays and novels such as Paradise Lost, A Winter’s Tale and Frankenstein.
I have completed Stage 1, 2 and 3 and have received a Master accreditation. I am also an Associate of the Higher Education Academy (AHEA).
I shadowed on both these modules as part of the Graduate Teaching Assistant Programme.
