D-course with literary specialisation
Please note that literary D-courses are available every semester ("varje termin") and that the course content varies between autumn and spring. For details see below.
General Aim of the D-level Course
The D-course has as its aim to conclude the undergraduate programme in English (61-80 credits), but it is also one of the formal requirements for students who want to join the doctoral programme in English.
There is no formal testing of language proficiency at the D level, but the assessment of the research essay will be based on both language and content.
AUTUMN SEMESTER 2001:
Subcourses and credits:
1. Literature, Literary Criticism and Literary Theory (10 credits)
This course (called "Texts and Perspectives: Fiction and Narration") is taught and examined by the English subject group in the School of English and American Studies at the University of Sussex. The teaching consists of weekly seminars.
Course description:
This course will examine a range of novels and short stories in order to explore the relationships that exist between readers, authors, and narrators. The course will take account of socio- and literary-historical issues, but will also highlight historical and contemporary theories of narration. Texts chosen for the course will come from a range of periods and may include contemporary texts, as well as some non-fictional material, such as letters and diaries. Possible topics of discussion include: epistolary fiction; novels in verse; the unreliable narrator; the uses of textual lacunae, and the relationship between 'fictional' discourse and 'historical' discourse.
2. Literary research essay (10 credits)
The requirements for the research essay in this course duplicate those of the underlying C-level course at a more advanced level. Students are expected to exercise greater independence and sophistication in carrying out their research and in presenting the findings of their investigation.

introduces students to diverse areas and periods of English literary history.
This subcourse follows the Sussex term pattern and will therefore start around 10 January 2002.
