We will read poems by P.B. Shelley, D.G. Rossetti, and Thomas Hardy; excerpts from Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Barry Unsworth's historical fiction, and Deborah Levy's short fiction; as well as longer narrative texts by H. Rider Haggard, Agatha Christie, and Michael Ondaatje. Topics will include archaeological sites home & abroad, archaeology & empire, archaeology & gender, archaeology & mystery, archaeology as a metaphor (e.g. excavating deep psychological structures), amateur vs. professional archaeology, and the archaeologist as a fictional character.
