Description
This module is compulsory to students taking the BA Greek/Latin and English programmes.
The module aims to give students an acquaintance with a selection of works 鈥� not necessarily 鈥榣iterary鈥� or originally written in English 鈥� which have been either influential in the formation of English literary and intellectual history, or articulate ideas important in that formation. A knowledge of these works is essential for all three years of the degree course. The module suggests some of the main features of the history of European ideas, and encourages students to acquire some capacity for handling conceptual argument. In addition, some, but not all, of the works in this module either actually influenced, or provide interesting comparisons and contrasts with, some of the texts in the Narrative Texts and Introduction to Medieval Language and Literature modules.
