Reading and studying literature (A230)

What can I do to prepare?

No preparatory work is necessary but if you would like to do some reading in advance, you might start by tackling the two plays with which the course starts, Shakespeare’s Othello and Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi.

You can also listen to extracts from the study material on Othello and The Duchess of Malfi online - see the sample study material page for more details.
