Dr Diana Hallam and Dr Michael Cade-Stewart have taught and lectured widely on English literature. They both studied literature at Oxford University and are passionate about bringing insider knowledge of classic novels, poetry and plays to a wider audience. Mad for books, they comb the literary research in search of the most thoughtful, instructive, eye-opening, entertaining, and juicy details for their lectures.
