Omschrijving | This course introduces students to literary studies in English. Students will acquire a basic knowledge of literary terminology and of major literary genres in English literature. They will study and discuss a broad range of texts, including poetry, prose, drama and essays, and gain an understanding of their generic as well as of their unique aspects. The critical, analytic and creative engagement with these fascinating texts will provide a sound foundation for the later study of English literature, conveying also, we hope, the many pleasures of reading literature. | ||||||||||||||||||||
