A survey of British literature

More about the book

This manual for lecturers is designed to enhance teaching and session preparation for a course focused on selected literary texts by major writers from the early Renaissance to around 1800. It aids lecturers in applying literary theories to texts while engaging students through various formats. Part A includes a syllabus with a semester overview and a breakdown of 14 sessions, each corresponding to a week's discussion of specific authors and texts. Practical teaching suggestions offer concrete strategies for integrating critical approaches, from structuralism to poststructuralism. Each session concludes with worksheets summarizing key points, allowing for quick material review. The manual also outlines various teaching formats, such as PPT presentations, lectures, and discussions. Part B lists academic websites and electronic resources, while Part C features three modular exams with references to the coursebook, including suggested answers. This innovative and practical resource is the first in the TESBA series, aimed at providing “hands-on” study guides for teaching English literature at the undergraduate level.
