Module overview
The module is comprised of two segments, World Literature and World Art, taught across one 10-week term.
This interdisciplinary module aims to encourage students to develop the skills and vocabulary needed to successfully engage with English Literature and Art History programmes at degree level. Having developed an understanding of the historical contexts of literatures in English and of art practices and institutions across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, students will be enabled to break free from traditional Anglocentric and Eurocentric canons. Through exploration and discovery, comparison and contrast, and deeper analysis and evaluation, it is hoped that a more profound understanding and enjoyment of art and literature will be cultivated.
