This course is designed to familiarise students with some of the most striking examples from British prose through the end of the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Selected examples focus on gothic fiction, modernist fiction, feminist non-fiction, postmodern novel, and postcolonial novel, ranging from epistolary format to various other narrative styles. Each text will be analysed formally in terms of their narrative aspects, with constant references to their historical and literary backgrounds as well as their cultural contexts. Students will be provided with information on the use of narrative analysis tools, and they are expected to make use of these tools in their analyses of the texts. Lectures on the introductory bodies, which will be supported by visual materials, will be followed by student-centred in-class discussions.
