This program is offered by the Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS) and runs in Spring 2024 with an on-campus component for the Winter 2024 semester. Literary MonstersMoving among the people and streets of London and studying the political and cultural power historically centered there, students will deepen their understanding of the cultural and geographic origins and histories of British literary monsters such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Mr. Hyde. The layered geography of the city itself, its neighborhoods and institutions and cemeteries, will become our classroom as well as an additional kind of course text, as we unpack the anxieties about foreignness, status, and marginalization that tales of monstrosity have documented and critiqued.
