The list of novels, plays, films and televisions shows available by clicking this link is provisional and subject to updating. It also includes only those works that are predominantly about formal politics not those that merely contain passing references or the occasional scene. If you discover other works please contact me so I can update this list. Googling the title, looking it up on http://wikipedia.org/ or in the case of films going direct to http://www.imdb.com/ should allow you to work out if it is relevant to your essay research. You can of course ask me if that does not prove of use – or see what others think. 

While we have tried to buy at least one copy of every film and TV show and novel listed below for the library, once you have identified those works you want to use in your essay you should see how much they cost on amazon, play.com, ebay or iOffer as sometimes they are very cheap. As I recommend viewing or reading the work many times it might be an idea to consider purchasing them to allow you to do this at your leisure. At the end of the module I might be prepared to buy some of these from you.

Notes

G novel available free for downloading via Project Gutenberg: this is an ongoing project so other novels out of copyright may now be available.

A can be viewed online at: http://www.archive.org/. As this is also an ongoing project other older films may be added over time so it’s worth searching the site.

B can be viewed online at: http://www.openlibrary.org/. As this is also an ongoing project other older films may be added over time so it’s worth searching the site.

1 available in region 1 format only: so you will need a multi region dvd player to view: some players can be ‘modified’ to facilitate this – search for your model type on the internet.

Due age – it’s too old or too new – for some films and television shows no dvd/video copy may be available. However you can still refer to the work in an essay by piecing together the plot from other sources.

Name in brackets for films refers to the director, for novel/plays it refers to the author; for TV shows it is title only.
