This course serves as an introduction to the study of English Literature in many of its aspects, including literary theory, literary history, genre, textual analysis, critical vocabulary. We will start with an attempt to define what literature (and particularly English literature) is. Looking 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. Required reading material will be announced in the first session. Please buy and read:
