The novel is a pretty recent Western invention. Literature is quite a broad term and includes articles, poetry, diaries, etc
oh i know, but you expect to be mostly reading stories when you sign up for a class like that, maybe spend a week on some other stuff but mostly novels or short stories
Huh, at university level I would expect mostly articles and discussion about the literature, you'd be reading the literature in your own time (if you wanted, they'd give you excerpts for the tutorials if necessary). I imagine sitting around a table while a grad student tries to coax answers about why this historian's interpretation of Chaucer is good or bad.
Idk about the communist pirates though, personally I think lectures are bad and classes should be small enough to adopt a more conversational tone.
