Massey to teach Da Vinci Code course

22 April 2006  

Massey University is following in Otago University's footsteps with a new paper based around a best-selling book that became a movie.


Three years ago, Otago launched an English course based on the Lord of the Rings books and movies. Later this year, Massey is to base a course around Dan Brown's best selling novel The Da Vinci Code, which is to be released as a movie in late May.

The Massey course will use the novel to show how fiction can popularise history.

Historian Dr Adam Claasen said despite Mr Brown's assertion that "all descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals in the novel are accurate" it reads like a comedy of historical errors.

Dr Claasen is currently teaching New Zealand history at Georgetown University, Washington DC, as a Fulbright Visiting Lecturer.

"In places, The Da Vinci Code reads like a comedy of historical errors of Fawlty Towers' proportions," he said.

Dr Claasen will cover the film version of the story in a paper called Blockbusters and Biopics: History at the Movies when he returns to Massey's Alabny campus later this year.

Students will look in-depth at the way Hollywood presents history and examine discrepancies between films and historical records, as well as ask questions about movie directors' motives in altering history for the cinema.
