Mr Bowen delivers lecture at English in Action conference
The Senior School’s Head of English, Mr Bowen, travelled to London on Tuesday 7th November to deliver a lecture on tragedy to A level pupils at an English Literature conference organised by Education in Action.
As part of the day’s talks on the literary, social and international perspectives of the AQA B A level option ‘Aspects of tragedy’, Mr Bowen’s lecture was on the theme of ‘Hunting for a hamartia: Is a dead knight a tragedy?’ and considered the extent to which the protagonists in these poems are to blame for their own downfalls and to what extent they are victims of external forces.
