Course Info:

At the Undergraduate level the Department offers a variety of courses which range from genre-based to interdisciplinary. Regional literatures with their focus on cultural diversity, linguistic and contextual complexities and identity issues form the core of the Undergraduate programme. In offering students an eclectic mix of subjects and approaches to the study of literatures and ‘englishes’, the Department has ensured the relevance of the discipline in today’s world, while maintaining traditional strengths.

The Master’s degree programme offers students a fine balance of traditional American and British literature courses, with contemporary writing from other related and emerging areas such as Women’s Writing, Children’s Fiction, Indian Literature in Translation, Translation Studies, Modern Indian Literature in English and Dalit Literature. The courses are designed to ensure that students receive grounding in key theoretical formulations, develop awareness of socio-political, cultural and economic issues of the time, and learn to appreciate difference and diversity, thus making the programme both relevant and meaningful for the students of today.
