課程概述 Course Description

文學批評
Literary criticism is not a castle in the air. Rather it is both a practical intellectual exercise and dynamic critical responses to literature. It helps us to open windows from different angles to see, appreciate and analyze literary works, thereby digging out their multiple and deeper layers of meaning. The course is designed as an introduction to the field of contemporary literary criticism.
