Bachelor of Arts English Literature
Bristol, United Kingdom
Received at 2:1 in English Literature from the University of Bristol. Specialising subjects include Post-War American studies, Postcolonial Literature and Beats & Crazies Literature.
My favourite unit, Writing for Art, came at the end of my degree and established my passion for inter-disciplinary arts. The course explored the relationship between visual art and verbal literature, including texts such as Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, Walter Pater's Studies in the History of the Renaissance and Tennyson's The Lady of Shallot.
We looked at movements such as the Pre-Raphaelites, the Imagist poets and Aestheticism, discussing theory in seminars from the likes of John Berger, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and W.J.T Mitchell. My essays on Dante Gabriel Rossetti's sonnet for a Titian's painting and the irony in Ruskin's critique of Raphael's work scored me two very proud firsts.
I was also the Theatre Editor of the University's arts and culture magazine, Inter:Mission and worked on a project to redevelop the website. I received a Bristol Plus* Award as part of the University's scheme to encouraging students to think about their future workplace.
