Overview

B.A English with Comparative Literature

The Bachelor’s programme in English with comparative literature, at GCU, has been crafted to study literature from diverse cultures, genres, or nations, so that students can explore the implications and relationships between these pieces, and other forms of cultural expression.

The curriculum also encourages exploring medical, legal, and scientific literature. Films and translated ancient texts also form a core part of this curriculum. Comparative literature transcends boundaries, and places an emphasis on an interdisciplinary analysis of literary works, within historical shifts, the economy, political dynamics, the urban environment and international relations.

With an in-depth understanding of literature from all over the globe, the graduates undergo a holistic development during the course and develop analytical skills that are invaluable to potential employers.

Graduates from GCU can apply their well-honed skills in the field of creative writing, journalism, academia, journalism, and marketing. An undergraduate degree in English with Comparative Studies is also in great demand in the film-making and publishing industry.

Highlights

  • The programme will start with the core module of Foundations of English Studies and then a further English module on poetry or drama. It will also include modules of Worlds of Literature, introducing one to key areas of comparative literature through the study of novels, plays, poetry and short stories from around the world. Optional modules are available in areas such as world histories, world politics or audio-visual culture.
  • In the advanced second year one will take a core module on Reception, Transmission and Translation, which introduces one to the theory and practice of global literary circulation and culminates in the production of an edited anthology. One may choose specialisation from a wide range of optional modules from English and Languages, Cultures and Societies.
  • One will also be taught to apply the critical and research skills that one has developed to research projects, where one will independently research a topic which draws on knowledge of English and literature from other cultures, such as the myth of Odysseus from Homer to Derek Walcott, global dystopias, comparative post-colonialisms, or the ways in which foreign-language detective fiction has been received in the English-speaking world.
  • Apart from that optional modules covering an array of topics, such as different periods of English literature, Dante, Shakespeare, writing the Holocaust, and contemporary world literature, a module where one would investigate different writing styles and trends across the world.
