LIT2345: Modern World Prose

This module is designed to bring a broad and integrated understanding of literary movements and representative samples of modern time – that is the 16^th, the 17^th, the 18^th and the 19^th centuries. The module focalizes on different renown authors. When students read the module content details very well they will know many authors from all continents and many countries. However, some novels, novellas, and short stories (as well as nonfictional prose) have worked well in both modern and contemporary literature in any part of the world. When they look at the doc availed to them and called “Examples of Prose Writers” they will see good examples which may even include some of the ones they have been reading. This module will help to open them to different outlooks of literary experiences as these are presented and articulated in fictional and nonfictional prose literature. They will also be exposed to different literary ideas, concepts and techniques utilized by various authors. Due to some practical reasons – e.g. module’s length and our trimester timetable – our focus will be on only one novel called Pride and Prejudice and written by Jane Austen and published in 1813.  Students will also be exposed to different outlooks of literary experiences, and they will be exposed to different literary elements as well as different literary devices and techniques. All these underlie educational values derived from literary studies.
