The power that stories have over the audience's imagination has always proved one of the main pleasures of reading. In this course we will be considering some of the highlights of English Literature dealing with storytelling. The course develops out of work we have done in WS 06/07, but forms an entirely self-contained unit. New students are welcome to attend!

This course offers an introduction to the methods we use in literary study to analyse the fuctioning of poems, plays and novels. It is intended for ETH students who want to broaden their horizon of English literature, and keep in touch with the language.
