Narrative Texts/Intellectual and Cultural Sources (ENGL0002)

Narrative Texts

This module aims to make sure that all students, whatever options they may later choose, have studied certain major works, and have so gained a preliminary idea of English literary history and its main movements from the early modern period to the present. In addition, the module introduces the study of narrative in the poetry and fiction of this period, and gives students experience of studying complete and complex works in a relatively short time. Works are studied in chronological order.

Intellectual and Cultural Sources

This module aims to give students an acquaintance with a selection of works – not necessarily ‘literary’ or originally written in English – which have been either influential in the formation of English literary and intellectual history, or articulate ideas important in that formation. A knowledge of these works is essential for all three years of the degree course. The module suggests some of the main features of the history of European ideas, and encourages students to acquire some capacity for handling conceptual argument. In addition, some, but not all, of the works in this module either actually influenced, or provide interesting comparisons and contrasts with, some of the texts in the Narrative Texts and Introduction to Medieval Language and Literature modules.
