Learning Outcomes
Students will gain detailed knowledge of poetry written largely since the Second World War. While they will develop reading strategies appropriate to the analysis of writing translated from Gaelic and some in Scots, their main skill development will be in relation to the analysis of complex linguistic performances in English. Students will develop knowledge of relationships between poetry and gender representation, and knowledge of poetry as cultural and personal self-identification. They will deepen their understanding of relationships between poetic form and attitudes to history, to formal religion and to Scotland's cultural and linguistic diversity.
