In particular, students will investigate the relationships between content, context, form and feeling in their analysis of literary works and develop skills in processing and writing about poetry. |
| Learning objectives | After having attended this course students should be able to: - demonstrate knowledge and understanding of key poetic works and major literary trends since the 16th century - demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the underlying form and structure of poetic texts and how these relate to content and meaning - l negotiate between differing value systems and points of view - engage with a wide range of literary texts imaginatively and through multimodal approaches - analyse and critically evaluate poems in a way that is both personally meaningful and socially relevant |
