What the college says

This course provides students with the opportunity to read set texts and others that they have selected for themselves widely and independently engaging critically and creatively with a substantial body of texts and ways of responding to them. Students develop and effectively apply their knowledge of literary analysis and evaluation exploring the contexts of the texts they are reading and others' interpretations of them. Students undertake independent and sustained studies to deepen their appreciation and understanding of English Literature including its changing traditions. The purpose of Literature is in Dryden's happy formulation 'instruction and delight'. Nearly three hundred years later no better definition exists.
