Each day, students will explore a postmodern critical theorist who has had a crucial impact on both the understanding of literature, and on literature itself. Discussion of the theorist through key extracts, and applying the theoretical framework to a literary text to further develop students’ grasp of literary hermeneutics and the interpretation of texts in terms of philosophical paradigms.
