This English Literature Mini Lecture, with former Literature lecturer, poet and editor, Paul Robert Mullen, is the first in Springpod’s fantastic lecture series that will see academics throughout the country deliver expert sessions on key degree topics.
The lecture will be delivered in two halves - the introduction to the subject, key concepts and the task, followed by a feedback session with peer review.
Sit back and enjoy your literary journey through George Orwell's enduring literary masterpiece and allegorical satire, Animal Farm.
The Mini Lecture will include a detailed introduction to the main concept - the idea that ‘power corrupts.’
Listen to the political and historical context surrounding George Orwell’s literary classic, as well as a breakdown of the text including close analysis of primary and secondary sources. You’ll then be posed a task, and should you be willing to take it on, the second part of the lecture will provide a detailed insight into how to craft a top level literature response at undergraduate level.
