Learning to read literary theoretical texts is an invaluable skill for any student who will be writing their thesis on literature. On this course, we will study some of the most famous classics of modern literary theory from T. S. Eliot onwards, ponder over the problem of why literary theory is necessary in the first place, and find out how to apply in practice this newly learned knowhow in the reading of literary texts. The course is warmly recommended for students in intermediate studies.
 
 Methods of study include some lecturing, but mostly we will proceed in the form of a reading circle and team/pair work. An active role is therefore encouraged. Assessment will be based on class participation and a process writing assignment.

In addition to enrolment in NettiOpsu you need to fill in a form to indicate an order of preference for your chosen options courses.
