Theory and Practice of Literary Criticism Module Convenor: Dr Alastair Renfrew

Introductory Reading List

This introductory list covers texts that should a. be acquired in advance of the course; b. be consulted during the long vacation in preparation for the course.

*Please note that a full reading list covering each of the topics studied on the module, as well as additional general resources, will be available via DUO from the start of term.* a. The set text for the course is:

The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism (2nd edition), ed. Vincent B. Leitch et al (Norton, 2010).

A wide-ranging collection of excerpts and essays from the long history of theory and criticism, from Plato to the present day, with particular emphasis on the past century. With essays on all of the theoretical strands covered on the course, this will be your primary resource for preparatory reading in advance of lectures and will also provide much of the set reading for tutorials (although individual lecturers and tutors may also prescribe supplementary material from other sources). The anthology also features brief introductions to individual critics and theorists, as well as a comprehensive bibliography and index. b. It is advisable to read in advance one or more of the following introductions to theory and criticism:

Jonathan Culler, A Very Short Introduction to Literary Theory (Oxford University Press, 1997).

As the title suggests, this is a very short, lucid and accessible introduction to some of the key issues involved in reading and using theory.

Patricia Waugh (ed.), Literary Theory and Criticism: an Oxford Guide (Oxford University Press, 2006).

A collection of some 40 essays, with a long introduction, covering the history of modern theory and criticism, including the theorists and movements covered on the course.

Andrew Bennett and Nicholas Royle (eds), An Introduction to Literature, Criticism and Theory (4th edition) (Routledge, 2009).

As much an introduction to literary studies in general as it is to theory and criticism, this book is organised thematically, rather than by theorists and movements, and is particularly helpful in encouraging theoretical reflection that is integrated with your existing habits as readers. Also contains a brief but helpful glossary of terms; links to additional chapters are available at www.routledge.com/books/details/9781405859141/

Shakespeare Module Convenors: Professor Barbara Ravelhofer and Dr Mandy Green

Michaelmas Term lectures will be on historical drama (Richard II, Henry IV1,2, Henry V), tragedies (Titus Andronicus, Hamlet, Macbeth), and early comedy. Epiphany and Easter Term lectures will be on the Sonnets and narrative poems (for instance, Venus and Adonis), further forms of comedy and pastoral (for instance, As You Like It and Much Ado about Nothing), Roman plays (including Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolanus), as well as several later plays (including Cymbeline and The Winter’s Tale). The lectures will be rounded off with an outlook on Shakespeare’s legacy.

You should read Shakespeare’s Complete Works during the summer vacation. You need to engage with the full range of Shakespeare’s works, so it is important that you read as widely and as deeply as possible, rather than trying to rely on your A-Level knowledge.

Editions

Complete Works: The Oxford Shakespeare: The Complete Works, ed. Stanley Wells and Gary Taylor (Oxford: OUP, 1988, 2nd edn, 2005). This is the standard edition recommended by the Department and allowed for the open-book examination.

Other more copiously annotated Complete Works are listed below; these may, however, not be taken into the examination:  The Norton Shakespeare, ed. Stephen Greenblatt et al. (New York: Norton, 1997)  William Shakespeare: Complete Works, ed. Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen (New York: Random House, 2007; pbk Basingstoke: Macmillan / The Royal Shakespeare Company, 2008) represents a modernized version of Shakespeare’s First Folio edn (1623)  The Riverside Shakespeare, gen. ed. G. Blakemore Evans (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2nd edn, 1997)  Complete Works [in original spelling], ed. Stanley Wells and Gary Taylor (Oxford: OUP, 1986)  The Norton Facsimile: The First Folio, ed. Charlton Hinman, 1968 (2nd ed., intro. P. W. M. Blayney, 1996)

Editions of individual works: To prepare an individual text adequately for the exam, you should consult this text in one of the following editions:  The Arden Shakespeare, launched in 1899, provides copious introductions, annotation, and textual apparatus of the highest scholarly standard.  New Cambridge series (Cambridge University Press)  Oxford series (World’s Classics)  The recommended edition for non-dramatic verse is Complete Sonnets and Poems, ed. Colin Burrow (OUP, 2002).

Editions suitable for the Shakespeare examination: The Shakespeare examination is an ‘open book’ paper: candidates must take a copy of the collected works into the examination. No loose papers or photocopies of the works must be brought to the exam. The editon must be an unannotated text. It must not contain any commentary or glosses of difficult words in the margins. Introductions to individual plays should not exceed one page. Texts should include a line count.

This list introduces the main authors and topics, following the order of the lecture list for next year. Editions of literary works are given, and a few critical works for each topic. Good paperback editions are asterisked. The final sections list some background texts and general or contextual studies. Further reading lists on individual writers and topics will be supplied at lectures. Most important over the vacation is to familiarise yourself with as many of the primary texts as possible. The language of the texts can, of course, be more challenging than that of contemporary texts, so the more you can read over the summer the better! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the course convenor, Professor Elizabeth Archibald, during the vacation: [email protected].

NB: The Library is asked to place all asterisked items on three-day loan.

Victorian Literature Module Convenor: Dr Simon Grimble

PRIMARY READING Students are warmly advised to get down to reading the longer novels and poems during the Summer Vacation.

This module is not a ‘set text’ course. You may answer on any Victorian (1837-1901) text in the questions in the first half of the paper: for reasons of space, many important writers are not lectured on, but that doesn’t mean you cannot read and write about Thackeray, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Wilkie Collins, ‘sensation fiction’, Kipling etc. etc. There are also more ‘link’ lectures this year that will discuss a variety of authors and themes. Previous papers are available in the libraries and online. The following texts are recommended. These editions all have sound texts and contain notes, bibliographies and good critical introductions, but the most important thing is to acquire copies of Victorian texts and begin reading.

Fiction and Drama Charles Dickens: David Copperfield (Norton or Oxford World’s Classics) Great Expectations (Norton or Oxford World’s Classics) Charlotte Brontë: Villette (Penguin or Oxford World’s Classics) Elizabeth Gaskell: North and South (Penguin or Oxford World’s Classics) George Eliot: Adam Bede (Norton or Penguin) Mill on the Floss (Norton) Middlemarch (Penguin or Oxford World’s Classics) Thomas Hardy: Jude the Obscure (Norton, Penguin or Oxford World’s Classics) Tess of the D’Urbervilles (Norton, Penguin or Oxford World’s Classics) George Gissing: The Nether World (Oxford World’s Classics) Oscar Wilde: The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays (Penguin or Oxford World’s Classics)

Poetry The Norton Anthology (Volume 2) has been recommended to students for this and other courses. The volume contains only sections of the poems by Tennyson (In Memoriam), and selections of poems by Matthew Arnold, Arthur Hugh Clough, Robert Browning, Christina Rossetti, the other ‘Pre-Raphaelite’ poets, and Gerard Manley Hopkins. Students wishing to specialize on these poets are strongly advised to study more widely and therefore to borrow or purchase individual texts. The following are recommended:

The Poems of Matthew Arnold, ed. Kenneth Allott (Longman, 1979)

Clough: Selected Poems, ed. J. P. Phelan (Longman, 1995)

Tennyson’s Poetry, ed. Robert W. Hill (Norton Critical Editions, 1999) or Selected Poems: Tennyson, ed. Christopher Ricks (Penguin, 2007)

Robert Browning: The Major Works, ed. Adam Roberts (Oxford World’s Classics, 2009)

A.C. Swinburne: Poems and Ballads and Atalanta in Calydon, ed. Kenneth Haynes (Penguin, 2000)

Christina Rossetti: Complete Poems, ed. Betty Flowers (Penguin, 2001)

26 or Selected Poems: Rossetti, ed. Dinah Roe (Penguin, 2008)

Gerard Manley Hopkins: The Major Works, ed. Catherine Phillips (Oxford World’s Classics, 2009)

Edward Lear: The Complete Verse and Other Nonsense, ed.with an introduction and notes by Vivien Noakes (Allen Lane, 2001; pub. from 2002 as ‘ … and Other Verse).

Lewis Carroll: The Annotated Alice: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, with an introduction and notes by Martin Gardner (Allen Lane, 2000). NB: the lecture naming Carroll as one of its featured authors will focus on a few poems (well annotated in this edition), not on the Alice books as complete works, though they can be written on in the examination.

For selections from these and many other poets, also see The New Oxford Book of Victorian Verse, ed. Christopher Ricks (Oxford, 2004).

Prose Charles Darwin: On The Origin of Species (Oxford World's Classics) John Stuart Mill: On Liberty and the Subjection of Women (Penguin) Matthew Arnold: Culture and Anarchy and Other Writings (Cambridge University Press) John Ruskin: Unto This Last and Other Writings (Penguin), or Selected Writings (Oxford World’s Classics) William Morris: News From Nowhere and Other Writings (Penguin) Oscar Wilde: The Soul of Man Under Socialism and Selected Critical Prose (Penguin)

Material for the lectures on Victorian prose (Ruskin, Carlyle, Mill, Arnold, Morris) can also be found in the Norton Anthology.

SECONDARY READING

Some tips: Do not rely solely on what is on the shelves: check the library catalogue, the return shelves and the Reserve collection. If the book you are looking for is out, recall it. Books with more than 2 holds are automatically placed on 3-day loan. Don’t forget about journal articles: the Library carries a large number of general and author- specific Victorian journals. Use library databases (via the Library's web-page of English subject links) to help you track down material. Even if you cannot find what you are looking for immediately in the library, you can always access on-line journal articles via JSTOR, LION or MUSE. There are links to specific items in Course Documents in DUO. If you are encountering specific difficulties with the library, please ask the Library staff, and, if they are not able to help, your tutor for this module. Core books are marked with a star (Reserve); recommended (3-day loan) with two stars.

Literature of the Modern Period Module Convenor: Professor Stephen Regan

Overview:

This module surveys poetry and prose from the turn of the century to the end of the Second World War, situating these decades’ extraordinary literary transformations within the contexts of the period’s rapid and spectacular historical, cultural, and social changes. We shall read many of high modernism’s landmark achievements – works such as T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, James Joyce’s Ulysses, and Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse – and a wide range of other writers associated with modernism, including E.M. Forster, D.H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad, and Katherine Mansfield. In addition, we shall study writers who are acutely modern but not necessarily ‘modernist’ – H.G. Wells, Thomas Hardy, and the Great War poets at the start of the period, for example, and W.H. Auden, Christopher Isherwood, and Louis MacNeice at the end of it, their 1930s careers overlapping with those of such ‘late modernists’ as Henry Green and Elizabeth Bowen. The lecture series will proceed broadly chronologically, telling the story of British and Irish literature in the first half of the twentieth century through the work of some of its most strikingly accomplished participants.

Students are invited to make their own connections among those writers, and to investigate and appreciate through close reading the complexities of their challenging and absorbing works. Lectures aim to model such ‘close readings’, while also introducing some of the key intellectual, artistic, and cultural developments in which early-twentieth-century writers played so decisive a part. Lecture will prompt some challenging questions. How does this literature register the impact of urbanization and technological change? What does the fictive self look like in the era of psychoanalysis? How do modernist writers represent gender and sexuality in the era of women’s enfranchisement? What happens to social class, national feeling, and a sense of citizenship in decades marked by domestic unrest in Ireland and Britain, and by the development of mass political movements such as fascism and communism on the continent? How did writers register the eruption and experience of two world wars within a single lifetime?

Organisation:

Weekly lectures throughout the year will be supplemented by group tutorials. The module will be assessed by a three-hour, three-essay paper asking questions about a wide range of authors, texts, and topics from the course; a successful exam will demonstrate the candidate’s knowledge of selected texts and their contexts, and an ability to interpret and compare texts confidently and ambitiously in terms of both their forms and their ideas.

Required Texts:

Some of the works we are going to be studying are long and difficult, and every one of them abundantly rewards multiple readings. With that in mind, we hope you will find a little time to commence your preparation over the summer break!

E.M. Forster, Howards End (Penguin) Joseph Conrad, The Secret Agent (Penguin) H.G. Wells, Ann Veronica and Tono-Bungay (Everyman) D.H. Lawrence, Sons and Lovers (Oxford) Thomas Hardy, Collected Poems (Wordsworth) or Selected Poems (Longman) Selected Poetry of the First World War (Wordsworth)

Eliot, Collected Poems (Faber) Virginia Woolf, Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse (Oxford) Elizabeth Bowen, The Last September (Vintage) Henry Green, Party Going (in the Vintage Living/Loving/Party Going) Evelyn Waugh, Scoop (Penguin) W.H.

Journals:

Modernism/Modernity is the house journal of the Modernist Studies Association, the major professional organisation in this area; other important journals in early-twentieth-century literature include: Twentieth-Century Literature, Journal of Modern Literature; Modern Fiction Studies; Modernist Cultures; Paideuma (for poetry); ELT: English Literature in Transition, 1880-1920 (for the early end of the period), and The Space Between (for the late end of the period). But keep in mind that many major articles in this ‘field’ will appear in journals that cut across historical fields.

Other resources:

The Modernism Lab at Yale is full of short essays and notes from reputable sources: http://modernism.research.yale.edu/index.php

The Modernist Journals Project has been digitizing original ‘little magazines’ from this period, so you could get a really good look at the intellectual culture of the period by browsing the material they have archived: http://dl.lib.brown.edu/mjp/

And if you become interested in the literature and cultures of the world wars, you might look at the online databases for the Imperial War Museum: http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections- research

Old Norse Module Convenor: Dr David Ashurst

The purpose of this module is to enable you to read Old Norse prose and poetry in the original language, and to give you an understanding of the literature and its cultural contexts. Weekly language workshops throughout Michaelmas and Epiphany terms introduce you to the grammar and take you through the set texts. Four tutorials give you the opportunity to discuss the literary and social aspects of the set texts. The language workshops and tutorials prepare you for the short exam that you sit at the end of Epiphany term. Weekly lectures in Michaelmas term (not in Epiphany or Easter) give you an overview of the literature and help prepare you for the 3000 word essay that you write after sitting the exam.

Assessment: you will sit a two hour exam at the end of Epiphany term and then write a 3000 word essay, to be submitted in May. The exam and the essay are equally weighted. You will have the opportunity, in consultation with Dr Ashurst, to suggest a topic of your own choice for the essay. You will be encouraged to be adventurous and above all to focus on something that truly interests you.

It is important to read a range of primary texts (in translation) and secondary works. During the summer vacation read at least one item from section 3 below – O’Donoghue 2005, Clunies Ross 2010 or the first part of Neijmann 2007 would make good places in which to start - and acquaint yourself with several sagas from a collection such as The Sagas of Icelanders: A Selection (see section 2): the Saga of Gunnlaug Serpent-tongue, Gisli Sursson’s Saga and the Saga of Hrafnkel Frey’s Godi are representative and are all quite short. In The Poetic Edda (trans. Larrington), the Sayings of the High One, Loki’s Quarrel and the First Lay of Gudrun make a varied sample of eddic verse; if you did not opt for the Heroic Age module, take a good look at the Seeress’s Prophecy and the Lay of Atli as well.

You will need your own copies of the works below marked with an asterisk. NION can be obtained through Dr Ashurst at low cost; if you try to order the volumes yourself, through Amazon for example, you may pay double. Write to Dr Ashurst at [email protected], specifying whether you want all three volumes or just the Reader and Glossary, and he will add you to the list of people to whom he will supply the books at the start of term. Once you have obtained the volumes do not write in them, otherwise you will not be allowed to take them with you into the exam. The items marked ^ are particularly recommended, but you are not required to buy them.
