ING 408 Edebiyat ve Eleştiri Kuramları / Literary Theory and Criticism


The aim of the course is to acquaint students with various theories of literature and traditional and modern methods of criticism.
The course starts with Plato and Aristotle and continues with the work on Chaucer’s, Sydney’s and Dryden’s theories of literature. We apply the traditional and modern theories to some of the works we have already learned.
