Inhalt: "Poetry? No thanks!" is a common reaction to a genre that is seen as being outdated and/or too difficult. This series of lectures will argue for an enjoyment of poetry or rather poetries. It will provide an overview of British poetry by outlining developments in form and function and by analysing poetry from all periods, starting with Beowulf and ending with 21st century Dub and Rap and the poetry of Carol Ann Duffy. Poetry is as relevant as ever and this course offers ways to read and enjoy poetry -- "Yes, poetries please!"
Empfohlene Literatur: Our Reading List will be based on: The Norton Anthology of English Literature (2 vols) Other texts will be made available at the beginning of term.
