This six-week program will explore how fantasy versions of Britain continue to dominate the literary world in series such The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Discworld, and Harry Potter, all selling more than 100 million books worldwide. Time on the program will be split between London and Oxford, two cities known for their contributions to literature. The program will feature visits to famous pubs where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien shared their work with colleagues as well as the British Museum, the Imperial War Museum, the Oxford Bodleian library, and other cultural sites.
