Module content and teaching
Principal aims
This module aims to improve students' close reading skills and hone their sensitivity to literary style. It is aimed at practitioners, i.e. students of creative writing and literary translation, but will equally benefit students of literary studies. For the literary translator, the module is designed to facilitate the leap from translation theory to the translation workshop by modelling the vital skill of reading for translation; for the creative writer, the module provides a toolbox for the description and analysis of style which can fruitfully be applied to the writer's own practice.
Principal learning outcomes
At the end of the module, students should be able to offer an informed definition of literary style; conduct a stylistic analysis of a literary text using the appropriate descriptive terminology; understand how micro-level stylistic analysis relates to literary critical interpretation on the macro-level and, where appropriate, how stylistic analysis influences and informs creative practice.
