About
Spend a few weeks living in London this summer, and get to know one of the world's greatest cities as an insider, not just a tourist.
This is an opportunity to gain an intimate knowledge of London, discovering the contemporary capital while recovering the hidden traces of the revolutionary era of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The program combines the study of the cultural history of London with the study of London as the key site in an often overlooked urban Romanticism, featuring the work of William Wordsworth, Mary Wollstonecraft, John Keats, Hannah More, Mary Robinson, and a special focus on the art and poetry of William Blake.
Visits to museums, galleries and other collections allow students to see works—such as a complete set of original copies of Blake's works in illuminated printing, including Songs of Innocence and of Experience—that can be seen nowhere else. Walking tours familiarize students with the contemporary cityscape while also bringing the past to life. A copperplate printmaking session gives students a unique opportunity to learn, hands on, the craft Blake used to print books such as Songs of Innocence. Program enrollment is limited to maintain an intimate environment for classroom discussions.
