Description
Introduction to Literature is designed as a foundation course in literary and cultural studies. It introduces students to basic skills of reading, interpretation, research and essay writing. Through a study of literary genres (poetry, short fiction and the novella) and new narrative forms (film and computer games), the course develops self-directed learning skills and a familiarity with the tools of critical analysis.
