Classroom sessions will be both theoretical and practical.
- The theoretical sessions in lecture format will consider a variety of literary movements, authors and works. These considerations will be preceded by an introduction to the most relevant historical and cultural aspects of the period.
- The practical sessions will require you to analyse excerpts from literary works representative of the movements and writers studied during the theoretical part. You will expected to participate actively in the discussions and activities proposed by the teacher. Initially, the practical hour of class will be used by students to study and read on their own. However, as the course progresses, you will be required to attend small group discussion classes/tutorials on Wednesdays. You will be told by the teacher of the programming of these classes near the start of the course.
- You will be required to do some reading before each session.
- A series of reading packs will be made available to you (through the U.R.V. Photocopy Service) in instalments as the course progresses.
- You are recommended to buy The Short Oxford History of English Literature by Andrew Sanders (latest edition). It can be ordered from Tarragona bookshops or www.amazon.co.uk and currently costs about 20 euros. It would be a good reference book for this course and for all other literature courses later in your URV career.
