Introduction to Literary Theory | Explained in 10 Minutes | Shall We Read

Описание: Reading and writing are activities that we perform on a daily basis, most of the time with ease, but if you are a student of the liberal arts, you are probably writing with an absurd amount of pressure and anxiety. Whether you are texting a friend on your phone, or scrolling through endless Instagram posts and tweets, you are deciphering a code that enables human communication through a system of signs and symbols and rules that you have learned at a young age. What if I were to tell you that your thoughts are very much shaped by the language that you use? In this video, we are going to be focusing primarily on the study of language in literary texts by introducing some of the most influential literary theories.



I am Kristy, an academic, an English tutor, and a poetry lover. My mission is to cultivate our passion for literature and venture into the meanings hidden behind the literary classics. Each video will focus on one piece of literary work, or a specific aspect of a text, emphasizing on close reading, as well as with important issues, such as gender, race, and class.


Words can hurt. Words can heal. By re-examining our relationship with language, we may be able to understand how words can shape and change our lives.
