  4. 'Wild Places': Katherine Mansfield's imaginative worlds
    Evening
    Course start date:  Wed 12 Feb 2025

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Fiona McCulloch
    This course will introduce and discuss a selection of short stories by Katherine Mansfield. Mansfield’s approach to art is to embrace hidden depths, to seek untamed and unhindered aspects lurking in the shadows, writing with a wild surmise in an attempt to find new literary vistas. Similarly, describing herself as ‘an alien’, we will consider her self-asserted feeling of strangeness as an outsider, and how this might manifest itself in her fictional work.

  15. Westerns on Wednesday: fifties Westerns
    Course start date:  Wed 19 Feb 2025

    Location on this date:  Keeley Street

    Tutors:  John Wischmeyer
    Westerns reinvented themselves in the 1950s, reaching their absolute high point both in the cinema and on television. You couldn’t move for westerns in the fifties. War films and comedies were increasingly anaemic but Westerns had an artistic renaissance as many now-canonic films were released: from Red River (1948 Howard Hawks) to Rio Grande (1950 John Ford) to Rio Bravo (1959 Howard Hawks). Westerns continued to flourish throughout the 50s both in cinemas and then at scale on television: The Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Cheyenne, Wagon Train, Bonanza, and Gunsmoke, the first ‘adult western’.
