This course covers the fundamental skills necessary in the study of literature as a distinctive academic discipline; it is an examination of diverse critical and theoretical approaches in the development of literary analysis. As such, the course is a gateway of sorts into literary scholarship. Therefore, we will ask and answer the type of questions literary scholars ask: What is literature? How is it constructed, produced and consumed? What is its purpose and meaning?
To answer the questions asked in literary studies, we will study carefully the tools of the trade: we will discuss a range of approaches and use them to analyze literary and cultural phenomena.
