在本课程中，您将思考，质疑和模糊它们之间的界线：历史如何始终涉及本身就是文学的表示方式，文学如何想象并影响历史的政治和社会轮廓。<br>在历史学系以及英语和比较文学研究系，该创新学位将使您能够从各种角度以及跨越时间和地理的各种可选模块中探索这些问题：从中世纪到现代，以及从英国到美洲和加勒比地区。在发展您的学科知识的同时，我们鼓励您发展自己的想法和论点，批判性地分析他人所说的话并写信–并反思历史和文学学科今天如何最好地相互交流并在未来。

You will examine the literary techniques employed in historical writing, and consider how the past is represented in poetry, plays, and novels.
