Additional Information:This module emerges from the subject area’s and university's commitment to an internationalisation agenda. It will enable visiting academic staff to introduce students to literary productions from different cultures, to different pedagogic conventions and to different critical contexts for approaching literature. The module will encourage students to focus on the literature of a particular area within a global context and help them develop a comparative understanding of both the production and study of literature from an international perspective.
