This course aims to help students acquire basic knowledge of
literary concepts through an introduction to literary analysis.
Summary of
topics:
The syllabus will be composed of short stories from American,
British and Commonwealth literature. We’ll be looking at literary
tropes and their uses, various literary genres, the treatment of
time and space, the question of the narrator, the notion of point
of view, and the concept of characterization – all elements which
are essential to effective literary analysis and textual
commentary.
