G R A D U A T E D E G R E E P R O G R A M M E : E N G L I S H S T U D I E S Course contents Recommended reading Supplementary reading The course explores the space beyond formal and disciplinary boundaries and the overlap between language and literature. It focuses on literary interpretation that is substantiated by analysis. This involves precision of reference to the text in support of a particular reading. Attention to textual detail heightens awareness of how textual worlds are constructed through the exploitation of novel possibilities of language. The underlying assumption is that analysis increases the aesthetic effect of the literary text. The relationship between literary criticism and stylistic analysis is also commented on. After a discussion about the concept of style and the procedures for interpretation and analysis, the course is structured around three main literary genres: poetry, prose and drama. The main topics are the representational use of language and effects of foregrounding in poetry, the discourse structure of drama and dramatic dialogue, prose style and the discourse structure of fictional prose. In conclusion, the course addresses some important questions of literary translation. Carter, R. and McCarthy, M. (1995). Discourse and creativity: bridging the gap between language and literature.
