EarthDiverse: "Villains in Spy Thriller Fiction" course
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce it's newest Literature course, entitled "Villains in Spy Thriller Fiction" available both in-person (in Hamilton, New Zealand) or live-streamed via Zoom to anywhere in the world with a decent internet connection.
How have spy thrillers as we know them developed? This survey of spy thriller fiction published between 1880 and 2000 sets the books in their historical context and shows how they reflect the politics of the time in which the books were published. Spy thrillers also document our own social history and reveal many important issues for us to think about. We will look at the role women characters play in spy fiction and think about why the villains in spy fiction are usually Russian.
This 8-week literature course begins on Thursday evenings 6:30-8:30pm (NZ time). For other time zone equivalents around the world, and for course info and registration, please visit the course page by clicking on the Read More button below.
