This course provides an introduction to the study of British and Irish culture(s) in the widest sense of the term. This will include history, literature, film, television and music, as well as the culture of everyday life. Rather than just stating facts and figures, it will give you an overview of the history of ideas and movements in the UK and Ireland, ranging from the divine right of kings to girl power. Exploring the links between culture and identity, we will examine the powerful, yet volatile, construct of Britishness and how it has been challenged throughout the centuries by forces from without and within.

A course reader will be made available to you on Moodle at the beginning of the semester. |
