M.A. English Literature, Semester-03
This course introduces the historical and multidisciplinary development of literary and critical approaches. It considerably focuses the poetic and dramatic forms to highlight substantial trends and concepts. The course anticipates to boost students’ critical and analytical abilities when it comes to the questions how to understand literature through the lens of criticism? Why Classical, Renaissance and neo classical literary criticism inspires the modern one? Or why to study “English” literature or literatures in “English”? This is an important and foundational requirement for any onward literary study and research.
This course commits to
• Broaden students’ ability to take texts and on-board to discover Critical or Literary Theories, forms, devices and undercurrent themes.
• Develop critical thinking to evaluate or rank literary works.
• Build up students to compare the orientation of techniques in different texts.
• Encourage scholars to generate and integrate distinctive ideas autonomously.
• Create proficiency for students’ future research to be effective, creative and launching up-to-the-minute scope in the subject.
