This unit considers some of the major issues in contemporary literary theory, following its development from Romanticism to postmodernism. It is designed for students coming from a range of backgrounds. Topics have been selected for their relevance to literature and literary enquiry, and where possible the seminars will be oriented towards showing how theory is related to these matters. -- Course Website
