LIT2000   Genre   (20 credits)

Description

This module gives students the opportunity to study developments in a single literary genre from classical antiquity to the present day. Though the majority of core modules on the English Literature degree offer a series of chronological accounts of discrete periods of literary history, 'Genre' enables students to take a comparative approach, setting works of classical antiquity along those of the early modern, modern and postmodern worlds, or translated texts from Ancient Greece alongside those of nineteenth-century France. This module uses use genre as a means of drawing connections between periods studied separately at different points on the degree.
