combine the old historical method of studying literary forms as well as the New Historical method of examining
the cultural practices which are also part of the "text" and no more mere background information. The paper will
also look at the transition from the 16th to the 17th century when New Philosophy and New Science greatly

EFL E001 Theatre E 2 - 1 3 PR

Description:
In most Colleges drama is taught virtually the same way as one would teach a poem or a piece of prose
fiction. Unlike other forms of literature, drama is meant to be performed if its multidimensional nature is to unfold
itself. With this in mind, the course on theatre is designed with an accent on performance rather than on classroom
teaching. In the absence of any infrastructure for theatre in the University of Madras, the course will confine itself
only to those adjuncts of drama that can be highlight with our limited resources. The prescribed texts would be
approached in a way that the students learn the intricacies of dialogue delivery, the subtle nuances of acting, stage
setting, lighting and make-up. On the theoretical side, the students will be made to acquaint themselves with the
history of drama from classical times to our own day. The plays chosen for study lend themselves to performance
and theoretical discourse. A Greek play - Oedipus Rex (Sophocles) A Modern play - The Glass Menagerie (T.
Williams) An Indian Play in translation - Nagamandala (Girish Karnad)

Note: To select this elective subject the students must pass an audition test. Not more than fifteen students will be
admitted.

EFL C007 American Literature C 3 1 - 5 PR/DV

This is a survey paper and an attempt will be made to provide an overview of major authors and the literary schools
they belong to. We begin with Walt Whitman, who by common consent is the father of American poetry and who has
influenced a host of American poets of the subsequent generations. On the same consideration Poe and O'Neill have been
chosen for study. Each writer included in the syllabus has made a significant contribution to the development of American
literature. Even as we deal with their works, there will be a discourse on the social and political events that have a bearing on
their writing - in that sense the paper has a two-fold thrust. The students will be exposed to the main literary genres (poetry,
drama and prose-fiction) - with only representative authors being chosen for study.

EFL C008 Literary Criticism and Theory C 2 1 - 4 CTI/RA

The paper aims at acquainting the student of literature with the conceptual premises of literary appreciation. Hence, it
examines seminal literary critics in terms of representative samples to show how the concepts of imitation and creation constitute
the two poles of literary criticism. The objective of this paper is also to place the study of literature in the context of changing
historical perspectives on man, his self, society and the impact of ideology on reading practices. Hence, this paper proposes to
examine texts from the classical humanist tradition, the liberal tradition and the later writings belonging to economic and political
traditions which provide a critique of Enlightenment.

Part I - Literary Criticism

 1. Sydney : Apologie for Poetry.
2. Johnson : Preface to Shakespeare.
3. Wordsworth : Preface to the Lyrical Ballads.
4. Coleridge : Biographia Literaria (Chapter 14).

6. Shelley : Defence of Poetry.
7. Henry James : Art of Fiction.
8. Eliot : Tradition and the Individual Talent.

EFL C009 Victorian Prose and Its Critique of Materialism C 2 1 - 4 CTI/RA

The paper plans to explore the alternative model of Enlightenment offered by the Victorian prose writers. The
contribution of the thinkers of the Victorian Age was undermined early in the 20th century because of the influence of T.S. Eliot
and the Modernist Movement. However since the 70s significant revolutions of Victorian thought have been published doing
justice to the intellectual merit and the socio-cultural relevance of their thought to our democratic age. The early Victorian Prose
writers like Carlyle highlighted the virtue of tradition and aristocracy which will help contain a revolution simmering under the
discontent of the working class. Cardinal Newman earnestly argued against the virtues of Liberalism and pleaded for
restoration of religious faith to stem the tide of atheism. Matthew Arnold combined the best of Liberal thought and the virtue of
Agnosticism and pleaded for an international approach to culture which alone would save England from anarchy. What he said of
England holds good for India today. Ruskin anticipated Marxism and socialism in his profound critique of the economic situation
prevailing in his time. He combined the ardour of a socialist with the sense of Beauty of an aesthete. All these Victorian
thinkers fought against Philistinism and hence their relevance to us today.

1. Carlyle : Signs of the Times

2. Arnold : 1. Sweetness and Light
2. Doing as one likes
3. Newman : Knowlege and Professional Skills.(Victorian Prose and Poetry edited Bloom and Trilling)
