This subject is designed to engage students in the creative, critical study of a range of literary texts in English. Students will be introduced to works from different historical periods in different genres - short stories, poetry, novels, and plays - and to key critical concepts in literary studies. We will explore these works through close reading and critical analysis, focusing on the relationship between form and content, and considering how the different literary techniques available to writers shape the ways their texts make meaning.
