Discover Literature at King's: Online Taster Event
Thinking about studying Literature at university? Join us for an interactive online taster event and explore the exciting world of literature at King's.
Designed for students considering English BA or English with Creative Writing BA, this event will give you a flavour of the literary topics and approaches you could study as part of your degree.
With a special London theme, our academic taster lecture, Othello in/of London, will explore William Shakespeare's Othello as a product of the urban environment in which it was written and performed. The session will examine the play in relation to early modern performance cultures, the construction of identity, and the material conditions that shaped these identities, offering an insight into the kinds of critical questions and approaches explored on our English degrees.
You'll also have the opportunity to learn more about our courses, meet academic staff, and discover what it's like to study literature at King's.
