ENGLIT 1199: London Across History, Literature, & Film CAPA LONDON PROGRAM Spring 2019 Faculty name : Peter Odell Campbell E-mail : [email protected] Class times : M TBD Classroom location : TBD Office Hours : M TBD & by appointment Course Description The course is designed to introduce students to spatial history of London through literary and cinematic texts by famous auteurs, including Oscar Wilde, Arthur Conan Doyle, M. NourbeSe Philip, and Zadie Smith. The course will be visited by at least one author or director working in contemporary London. In London Across History, we undertake an historical tour of London, with these and other great writers and film-makers as our guides. We’ll start with a walking tour of the Inns of Court, and the world of eighteenth-century London and law, experi- enced through the lens of M. NourbeSe Philip’s experimental poetry. Our next stop will be the historic house and museum of Sir John Soane—a unique window into the life and arts of London’s imperial elite, and the Romantic poetry of Byron and Blake. We’ll visit a one-of-a-kind tribute to Oscar Wilde, in a pop-up museum open only until March 2019, before moving into the nineteenth century world of detective fiction through Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories of Sherlock Holmes. The second half of the course will continue our considerations of race and empire with screenings of WWI cinema, a visit to the Imperial War Museum, and an investigation into London’s labor and working-class history through the BBC adaptation of Howard’s End and Zadie Smith’s On Beauty.
