Are you interested in Literature?

If you are fond of Jane Austen's works, Shakespeare's, or Tolkien's, you should join Literature Summer School hosted by Cambridge University, United Kingdom. Have you ever read Dan Brown's Inferno? He wrote some pieces of stanza in Dante's Inferno. If you are eager to have a discussion on the poem, this programme also provides it in the schedule.

The programme will be held at International Summer Schools Mill Lane Lecture Theatres. It consists of two terms: the 2-week programme or the 4-week programme. It is open for overseas university studentsm, professionals or those interested in literature. The participants will be provided with discussions in small groups, close reading focusing on the text, and critical inquiry why literature plays an important role.
