Location on this date: Keeley Street
Tutors: Laurie SmithSurrealism is one of the great developments of 20th century literature. It’s different from the fantasies of previous centuries (fairy and folk tales, imaginative stories set in remote parts of the world, satires, science fiction) because it expresses complex bizarre experiences that many people recognise as possibly part of themselves. It may reflect desires which are difficult to admit but are sometimes expressed with wit and humour. We explore how surrealism developed from the apparent nonsense of three 19th century English writers.Full fee £249.00 Senior fee £199.00 Concession £162.00 - Italian 5: lingua e letteraturaCourse start date: Wed 17 Apr 2024 (and 1 other date)
