English literature and theory

In this module, students apply literary theory to texts from the English-speaking world. The module highlights the relationship between literature and society through studies of literary and cultural theories and perspectives, such as postcolonial, Marxist, ecocritical, and gender-based theories. Through analysing texts, students acquire familiarity with theory and develop an awareness of the significance and function of literature.
