Silas marner gutenberg6/8/2023 ![]() ![]() The seminar will be based on George Eliot's short novel Silas Marner. Among the topics addressed will be: deixis, inference, irony, metaphor/metonymy, narrative stance/perspective. ![]() ![]() The aim of this course is to train your skills in identifying and analysing these elements and provide you with the methodology and terminology needed to describe them as clearly and precisely as possible. Its underlying premise is that literature is a form of communication and that the means chosen by authors to communicate with readers are not merely decorative padding (to be considered only after an analysis of a text's content) but in fact constitute powerful meaning-carrying elements without which the content of literary texts cannot be understood fully. That is, this seminar is dedicated to form rather than content, i.e., it deals with the many facets of literary language. In this course you will study a variety of fictional and non-fictional texts not in light of what they describe and say, but with a focus on how they do this.
