A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce

Adding a new title is a lot of work but it demonstrates my commitment to help as many students as possible. There are many special features of the Literature sessions. Some of them are as follows:

• no downloading of online materials from Wikipedia, Sparknotes or Bookrags.
• no simple relating of events in the book

Instead there will be:

• understanding the contexts. - relating the texts to certain periods such as modernism, postmodernism, naturalist theatre, etc and to the events and cultural phenomena of the period in which the texts are set.
• detailed analysis and interpretation of events, actions and dialogue
• mapping of literary and cultural theories onto the reading of the texts
• analysing questions and practising answering them.
