Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| Students should develop the capacity to read and criticise complex theoretical texts and arguments. They should be aware of current topics in literary theory and analysis and the ways in which literary texts intersect with historical, political, social and ethical questions and contexts. In addition to developing a critical vocabulary for the analysis of literary texts and cultural phenomena, students should also be able to reflect critically on current practices and disputes in literary criticism. |
