The course serves as an introduction to the study of English Literature. We will talk about literary theory, literary history, genre, textual analysis, etc. Beginning with an attempt to define what literature (and particularly English and anglophone literature) is, we will then look at text samples from different genres, cultures and historical periods. You will be made acquainted with the fundamentals of literary analysis and interpretation, i.e. the terminology and concepts necessary for a critical analysis and interpretation of literary texts in political, historical, theoretical contexts where necessary.
