The version here is developed from the 2017-18 course. The course is quite similar to the previous iteration. There will be some small differences as I revise lectures and seminars through the year and you should bear that in mind if you want to look at material more than three weeks ahead. In particular, I will be enhancing the bibliographic links under the individual sections. Nevertheless, revisions of the teaching content will normally be minor and so you can gather material for essays, etc., in advance of the teaching sessions.

Course administration information has been updated for the 2019-20.
