B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes 1. Course Description The course introduces students to the different literary periods of English poetry. It would cover the main five literary periods of English poetry; Neo-classical, Romantic, Victorian, Modern and Post-modern with an introduction to Old English, Middle English and Renaissance periods. This survey of poetic literary periods would include selective poems of representative poets for each period. It would be as succinct and as comprehensive as possible. The philosophy of the survey would mix history with art where the poems mirror the era and the era explains the poems. The distinctive characteristics of each epoch (the political and cultural together with the artistic/aesthetic features) would be discussed. The survey may include poetic materials from outside Britain (The American and possibly World Englishes poetry, too).

The teaching of poetry would adopt an approach in which Form and Function are combined and interconnected. Students will be exposed to different ways of reading a poem ( see Eagleton's book ' How to Read a Poem?').

2. Course Main Objective By the end of the course, students should be able to:

1. Discuss the main ideas , concepts and terms of poetry and poetic study. 2. Outline the main historical features of each of the main periods of English poetry: Classical, Neoclassical, Romantic, Victorian, Modern and Postmodern. 3. Explain the artistic and aesthetic characteristics of each poetic period/movement. 4. Analyse poems effectively by tackling both Form and Function. 5. Develop an aesthetic sense of poetry in general, and English poetry in more specific terms. 6. Use knowledge of poetry to increase their English proficiency (esp. writing skills).
