Description

This course focuses on the various ways that the experience of war has been represented in a range of art forms, including poetry, the play, the novel and film. Works include such classic depictions of war as Shakespeare's Henry V, Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, a selection of poetry from Homer to the present, and classic war films. These works raise important questions about ethics, nationalism, politics and love. You will develop your critical reading skills and your capacity to write analytically about literary texts and film.
