LIT414 Literature Reading Subject (16)

This subject provides an opportunity for students to negotiate their field of study at a flexible and individual level. Students will receive supervisory assistance and guidance depending on staff availability and expertise. The choice available might include, for example, North American literature (both Canada and the United States); children's literature; Australian literature; post-colonial literature; English literature from the Romantic era to the present; film studies; and 'traditional' literary theory from Plato to the present day, with particular emphasis on moral questions in literature. Students should contact the discipline coordinator to discuss both their own interests and the factors governing availability.

No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2020.

Where differences exist between the Handbook and the SAL, the SAL should be taken as containing the correct subject offering details.
