As a tutor of the course, what are your key focus areas?
I want to bring in critical thinking when it comes to literature. I wanted to and still want to bring in critical vocabulary, something we are not very used to, in India especially. Thinking critically about literature. If you look back, at the 20th century or even at the Romantics such as Coleridge, Matthew Arnold, or TS Eliot and even Irish poets like Seamus Heaney — they were involved with criticism. So there is a deep connection between a creative writer making a new kind of poem or piece of writing and a new argument.
