| Title |
Introduction to Literature (Core Curriculum Lecture) |
| Description |
This lecture provides an introduction to the methods, concepts, and tools students of literatures in English are advised to use when approaching literary texts. These will help them obtain a fuller understanding of the texts and to express themselves clearly and competently when discussing them. Furthermore, we will look at literature as a particular form of communication, i.e., we will consider the specificity of literary texts, its various genres (drama, narrative fiction, poetry), and its relationship to other media. The lecture course will be accompanied by a tutorial (details tba in the first week of term).
Required Reading: Texts will be made available on ILIAS. Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness must be read before the first session; your knowledge of it may be subject to examination.
The recommended edition is the 5th Norton Critical edition (by Paul B. Armstrong, 2016, ISBN-13: 978-0393264869); in addition, a PDF file of the original publication in Blackwood’s Magazine (1899) will be made available on ILIAS. |
