Winner of a score of Gemini awards, holder of five

English 3713 – British Drama in Performance
(special topics course, Harlow only): A study of
contemporary British stage productions. Students
will attend plays in London and environs, write
reviews, participate in seminars, and keep a journal
of their experiences. Guest experts may be invited
to meet with students. N.B. Every student doing
Literary London MUST take this course as the
program fee is largely made up of theatre outings.
Don Nichol first taught at Memorial in 1978 and
finished his PhD at Edinburgh University in 1984. He
wrote his first book, Pope’s Literary Legacy (Oxford,
1992), in the old British Library and edited The New
Foundling Hospital for Wit (London, 2006), a threevolume collection of British satire, for a Bloomsbury
publisher. He has edited a collection of essays for
University of Toronto Press on the 300th anniversary of
Alexander Pope’s Rape of the Lock (due out in 2014).
English 3714 – Introduction to Creative Writing:
Satire (special topics course, Harlow only): A seminar
using models of contemporary satire and students’
own work. Guest satirists may be invited to meet
with students. Students will be expected to write
satirical sketches based on their Harlow experiences
and engage in collaborative projects. Text to
include The Plays of CODCO, ed. Helen Peters.
P r oposed C ou r ses – Don Nichol
English 3715 – Foundling Literature (special topics
course, Harlow only): A study of ‘Foundling’ literature
with emphasis on London as its locus. We will pursue

include Oedipus Rex, selections from the Foundling
Hospital & New Foundling Hospital for Wit, Tom
Jones, Great Expectations, Cider-House Rules, etc.

the period of Addison and Steele, Mary Astell, Daniel
Defoe, Henry Fielding, Eliza Haywood, Lady Mary
