This booklet is one of a set of three: Approaching Poetry, Approaching
Plays and Approaching Prose Fiction. They are designed to help you
develop the analytical skills you will need for studying literary texts at
university level. Although they can be studied and referred to at any time,
you will find Approaching Prose Fiction particularly helpful for your study
of The Realist Novel, and Approaching Poetry particularly helpful for your
study of Romantic Writings. Approaching Plays will help you with
Shakespeare and the Canon.<p>&nbsp;We estimate that each booklet, including all the exercises, would take about
15 hours to work through, the equivalent of roughly a week’s study.
However, we don’t recommend that you use a whole week in this way. We
suggest instead that you turn to each booklet when it is relevant to the
block you are working on, and then refer back to or re-read sections when
appropriate. Each booklet includes a glossary explaining technical terms
that you will need to become familiar with. (Terms appear in bold type at
their first usage in the text.)&nbsp;</p><p>Each booklet includes advice on writing TMAs
as well as examples of essays, so obviously the moment when you have to
start writing your own TMA is the moment to consult that part of the
booklet. Approaching Poetry, Approaching Plays and Approaching Prose
Fiction are resources that have been written to support your work on the
course, to help you get the most out of it and to increase your enjoyment
in studying literature. Our hope is that you will come to regard them as
practical handbooks that you turn to throughout the entire year whenever
you want to practise skills of analysis, or need clarification on particular
points.&nbsp;</p>
