English Literature covers a broad range of literatures written in the English language, from Chaucer to the present day. The aim of the course is to help you acquire a thorough knowledge of the history of differing literatures while also enabling you to develop a sophisticated critical consciousness and an awareness of critical and cultural theory.
Over the four years you will read texts in a wide variety of genres, including epic, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, oratory and historiography. Whether you are continuing your language studies or taking Greek as a beginner, you will engage with ancient texts both as literature and as a gateway into culture and thought. For all of your language-based courses the groups will be small, stimulating lively discussion, analytic skills, and the development of independent thinking. |
