Faculty of the PG & Research Department of English
We at the PG & Research Department of English, investigate the design, purpose, meaning, modes of production and reception, and the uses made of literary texts. We carry out these investigations by closely examining texts in themselves and by bringing to the texts knowledge of relevant literary, historical, philosophical, and biographical contexts. We examine texts for their complicity in the construction of social norms and for their attempts to oppose or undermine such norms. The courses are designed to impart the skills of reading and writing and they have other goals as well.
