English Literature may be an unfamiliar subject to many Japanese students. In this course, the approach to literature is traditional. Students will acquire basic knowledge of literary terms, works, authors, literary movements, and its history. Commentary will be made on various related aspects about Britain, including geography, race, religion, society, politics, and so on, to help students have a deeper understanding and appreciation of the works. At the same time, students will consider how ideas about literature and its interpretations have changed in post-war Britain when many British colonial states became independent. During this period, the UK went through drastic shifts and changes, and became more multi-racial and multi-cultural. Reference will be made to critical theory and topics including nationalism, post-colonialism, globalisation, and ethnicity. Students will read literary works, see film adaptations, and have discussions.
Feedback will be given through Hoppii.
