English Literature: Questions for Consideration and Discussion

  • What have been the key texts for creating our images of Britain? Jane Austen for our idea of village life, Dickens for London, Hardy for rural England...?

  • Do works of children s literature date more quickly than adult ones?

  • Is it useful to make a distinction between popular literary genres--detective story, science fiction, spy thriller, chick lit--and the literary novel?

  • What should be the limits to our definition of literature? What sort of literary qualities can we find in non-fictional genres such as the essay, the travel book, the history book, even a work of political theory or natural history?

  • Is our sense of the role of poetry now confined to the private sphere (love poetry, nature poetry, the poetry of personal memory) whereas it used to be a more public form (political poetry, satire, war poetry)?

  • Is there a tension between seeing Shakespeare s plays in performance and reading them as literature?
