पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program seeks to provide students with a balance of breadth of knowledge and depth of understanding in English, American, classical and world literatures and cultures; to further refine students’ analytical skills, particularly in terms of literary and cultural analysis; to further refine students’ research and writing skills, particularly in terms of interpretive analysis and argument; to prepare students for graduate-level work in literary studies. Teaching literature is not about information or mere appreciation, but about method: the method of interpretive analysis seeking a critical understanding of a wide range of significant representations of the nature and meaning of human experience over the course of history. The study of literature is inherently interdisciplinary, applying the methods and insights of (for example) psychology, sociology, philosophy, history, aesthetics, and literary theory. Its subject is not simply the wisdom of a particular set of “great” authors or the beauty of a particular body of “great” books; rather, the subject of literature is the variety and complexity of human experience and understanding as it is conceived and represented over time and across cultures.
