Discovering Historical Literature
From Thursday 30 April 2026 to Thursday 16 July 2026 | Bebington Civic Centre
Course Details
We are blessed with much in the way of historical literature which offers the Historian much evidence in terms of social, political and satirical history. For example, Jane Austen’s love and polite society, Dickensian poverty, Arnold Bennett’s industrial towns and the wild moorland romances of the Brontë sisters. This course is not a critique of such works but an examination of what they tell us about the historical past, beginning with Gawain & The Green Knight, the Venerable Bede in the medieval period through to the moving portrayal of life during the First and Second World Wars and into the 21st century.
