This module is optional for students in the first year of the BA Modern Language Plus and English programme and aims to provide, or reinforce, a grounding in the methodology and history of the subject.

The first-term lectures aim to introduce and exemplify some of the indispensable elements of a critical vocabulary. The first-term seminars offer the chance to put some of these elements into practice through commentary and analysis exercises, involving the detailed discussion of unseen passages of literature in various genres and from various periods. The second-term lectures offer a brief historical survey of different ideas of literary criticism and theory from the Renaissance to the present day. Second-term seminars explore a selection of these ideas in further detail.

Lectures and seminars across both terms aim to stimulate attentive and accurate close reading. Lectures focus on methodology in the first term, and history in the second. Seminars in both terms aim to develop and consolidate the close reading skills crucial to the study of literature.

The Design Report is the place students will have the opportunity of developing the theory which underpins their work, whether this is derived from science, cultural theory, technology, architectural history, philosophy or the psychology of perception and relating this to their design investigations. You will write an illustrated critical evaluation of an aspect or aspects of your final design project as the design proceeds. In it you refer to appropriate theoretical and technical sources and demonstrate how the information from these sources is synthesized in the design. You will describe experiments, both physical and digital in the document as appropriate. You will use verbal presentation experience gained in design modules to present an abbreviated version of the document in a formal seminar context.
