ACADEMICS

The Course:
​
​
The courses to be undertaken in the undergraduate years have been designed to ground students in the classics of English Literature, while exploring World Literatures, Indian Literature and literatures in English translation.

Besides the main papers, three-year students are expected to take Concurrent courses which complement the main course. This study prompts an exploration of the socio-economic, political and philosophical contexts from which various literary genres emerge. Students will engage with questions as varied as identity formation, race relations, gender struggles, regional politics, language formation and canon-building. The emphasis is on thinking critically, exploring the unfamiliar and re-exploring the familiar, and making connections between what is read, heard, thought and experienced in ways that are meaningful, and unique to each student.

Apart from reading the prescribed texts, students are expected to undertake individual research, making use of the College Library, guided by reading lists provided by the faculty, to write regular assignments and projects. The Department also regularly invites scholars and writers for talks and lectures, organizes seminars and screening of films for students and faculty under the aegis of The English Literary Association and expects the students' eager participation.
