Semester2

Trefnydd: Prof Andrew Hiscock

Amcanion cyffredinol

  1. This module is designed to respond to the popularity of cross-chronological, cross-generic modules (such as Literatures of Troy), and to complement the existing opportunities in the School of English to explore comparative literary studies and to build upon knowledge bases gained at level 2.
  2. This module will offer students a wider understanding of the composition, production and consumption of texts in very different social contexts.
  3. This module will pay particular attention to the development of critical concepts of genre and will allow the student to reflect upon the undertakings of epic poetry, tragedy, the novel, narrative poetry and science fiction.
  4. This module is designed to enable students to develop a critical vocabulary and informed literary opinion about canonical and non-canonical texts.

Cynnwys cwrs

This module will take as its focus the textual response to inherited mythic structures: how myth may be perceived in theoretical terms as a proairetic discourse; how it establishes affinities with certain genres (e.g. epic, tragedy, romance); and how in more contemporary cultural debates it has been problematised by expectations of falsehood. The seminar programme will changes from year to year but typically the modules ranges from Ancient Greek representations of myth (e.g. Medea, Homer, Plato) to medieval accounts in dramatic and/or prose narrative (e.g. Thomas Beckett) and to varying accounts of saints’ lives. In the early modern period attention may be devoted to the changing importance of ancient mythologies in literary narrative (e.g. Neoplatonism, chivalric romance). In the more contemporary periods, options also change from year to year, but may include explorations of such pervasive constructs as the Founding of Empire (Kipling, Lessing), The American Dream (Capote, Fitzgerald, Highsmith), Orientalism and the Other (Henry James, Du Maurier, Highsmith), and The War on Terror (Buchan, Fleming, and Porter’s Empire State), for example.
