I want to study Oxford’s “English Language and Literature” without going in debt for it. So far I’ve found a couple of PDFs which provide quite a reading list and the course’s structure, but it’s no course content. I’m really curious if there’s a place for what I’m looking for.
Unfortunately I don’t have enough IQ to study at the required pace nor the money to get in, nor the desire to physically go there. Also I’m not sure if it’s a practice to record lectures there nor if it is allowed for students to download them, that’s why I’m curious if there’s such a resource or if it’s a thing or not. But logically speaking no one in their right mind would go and leak such expensive material. So what I actually want are the assignments and the course papers of course so I can actually get the specific ebooks and read them.
Why not just read textbooks and lit history books then? You should be able to find ebooks or physical books at your local library, if you’re interested in doing it more at your own pace. It won’t be the exact course, obviously, but it sounds like that isn’t a critical factor for you.
If you want an actual course curriculum, MIT publishes theirs, and it includes English lit: https://ocw.mit.edu/
You might want to look into doing a class audit. It’s free. You essentially just sit in on a course and learn and everything, but you don’t get a real grade or credits.
As far as recording lectures, there is probably someone taking the course that might be willing to do it for you, but other than that, it’s not something you typically see available anywhere. It may be a licensing thing or something like that.
Seriously, look into auditing.
