— Course Content —
In this course we will go through the 4 Basic Principles of Literature. This a deliberately short course packed with information so you can ask affective questions to help you analyse prose (novels and stories).
We will cover a lot of theory over these videos and I have made these videos as if you were in class with me. I have assumed that my audience are students studying literature with books they will apply this theory to - this is why there are no specific example videos. Examples are integrated into the theory videos themselves.
In the videos we will explore:
What is literature? What are the different types of literature?
What are the basic principles of literature and why study them?
The Basic Principles: Theme, Plot, Characterisation, Style
