To engage with literature is to explore different ways of seeing the world – to appreciate and better understand human ideas, society, history and the future, and so expand your knowledge of the ideas central to human culture as these are expressed through the literary imagination. In this subject you will study a range of literary texts in English. You will be introduced to works from different historical periods in different genres - short stories, poetry, novels, and plays. You will also explore the key critical concepts in literary studies. You 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 way their texts make meaning.
