○講義概要
Genre is a term used to categorise works of literature according to their key features. Literally, the word ‘genre’ means kind or type and is closely related to the word ‘gender’. An knowledge of genre helps readers to appreciate the rules of a text and so make connections with other examples of the same genre. Moreover, genre applies not only to so-called serious literature but also to lowbrow literature such as detective stories and light poetry.

This course introduces students to a generic approach to literary studies, studying texts written in the three main genres of poetry, prose fiction and drama. Students will develop their critical ability through close textual reading and learn to use literary evidence in the writing of essays.

The first twelve weeks of the course (up to the middle of December) will be spent on poetry and prose fiction, after which we will look at a number of dramatic texts.

There is no textbook as such, but all texts are available to students as PDF files. It is important that students get into the habit as early as possible of downloading these files for use in class.
