Readings in Literary Genres is an advanced literature-based course which builds on Readings in English Part-I (Eng Ed 517) of the second semester. This course follows the genre-based classification of literature and its analysis and interpretation from different critical perspectives. Units from first to fifth comprise long fictions, short fictions, poetry, prose and dramas, whereas the last unit entails major schools of literary criticisms. The course offers some carefully selected fiction and non-fiction writings in English that enrich students with critical insights in varieties of the English language, its cultures, and that motive them in creative writing.
