? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 10 ? Acronym : LLC-3-EL0032

This course participates in ongoing discussions about canonicity and literary history. The time period covered continues to 1920 since many texts published early in the Twentieth Century bridge the boundary of 1900 in style, theme or perspective. Crucial questions concerning social identity, genre and culture will be considered, together with the writers' self-identification and their attitudes towards their work.
