British Literature and Landscape

Roam the countryside that fed Shakespeare’s imagination. Climb the peaks and walk the lakeshores where Wordsworth composed his poetry. Meditate by the window where Austen wrote her novels. Trek across the Brontës’ heather-covered moors. Wander literary London. Take a meal in the Oxford pub where Lewis and Tolkien conversed. Refine your own travel essay in the Isle of Skye. Feel the wind atop the highest mountain in Wales.

In the British Literature and Landscape Program, students will hike the landscapes of British literature as they reflect on the work of great authors and refine their own writing, from the urban intellectual centers of London and Edinburgh to the wilds of the English Lake District and Scottish Highlands. The group will visit Shakespeare’s Warwickshire; picturesque Wales; the coastlines that inspired Austen, Arnold, and Tennyson; Dartmoor; Yorkshire; King Arthur’s Cornwall; Regency Bath; and many other places. If reading, writing, hiking, and natural beauty are your passions, you may be an ideal candidate for this program.
