Overview
From January to April, the School hosts a series of lectures which adopt a thematic approach to the study of literature. The chosen theme varies from year to year, offering members of the public the opportunity to consider English literary works from fresh and thought-provoking perspectives. Themes covered in recent years have included Fear in Literature, Cities in Literature, and Literature and Revolution.
Further details for the upcoming theme will be available shortly from the Trinity Oscar Wilde website: www.tcd.ie/OWC/evening-lectures
