Overview

Module aims and purpose

This module provides students with training in skills of close reading that are foundational to the study of English, as well as an overview of the history of poetry in English. Students will be introduced to major movements and ideas in key periods from the early Renaissance up to the present; and to a range of genres including love poetry, political poetry, pastoral, elegy, satire, the sonnet, the ode, and the dramatic monologue. Poems studied will be drawn from the wider English-speaking world, including Ireland, the Caribbean and North America, and will include a diversity of voices in terms of gender and sexuality.聽

Module learning outcomes

By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:

  1. Demonstrate broad, deep, and coherent knowledge of English literature in its principal modes and genres: across poetry, prose, and drama; covering a range of historical periods; and comprehending the regional variety and global reach of the English language
  2. Apply discipline-specific practices of close reading, interpretative analysis and critical argument
  3. Respond creatively and imaginatively to essay questions and research tasks, for the purpose of devising and sustaining arguments, and of reaching decisive judgments
  4. Recognise what, and how, they have learnt, through self-reflection and through constructive dialogue with other people.

Module content

We will explore various poetic forms and a broad range of themes, including personal and political identities and聽environmental awareness. Poets studied may include William Shakespeare, John Milton, Jonathan Swift,聽Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, Alfred Tennyson, Robert Browning, Charlotte Mew, Thomas Hardy,聽W. H. Auden, Stevie Smith, Seamus Heaney, and聽Derek Walcott.

Structure

Teaching and learning methods

Weekly lectures will provide聽contextual information that you can use to develop your understanding of the poems discussed: this may be about the poet鈥檚 life, or about the poetic form used, or it may offer a theoretical model that helps us to interpret these poems in new ways.聽These issues and methods will be carried forward in weekly seminar discussions, where you will be able to work more collaboratively and build your readings of the poems that we discuss.聽Feedback on your formative close reading exercises will help you to become more confident in writing about poetry for your assessments.

Study hours

At least 22 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online. You will receive further details about how these hours will be delivered before the start of the module.

  • where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
  • where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
