This unit offers students the opportunity to engage with texts considered part of the literary canon. What makes a literary classic? Why do some texts stand the test of time, while others disappear? To address these questions, students will analyse texts that may range from Shakespeare's plays to contemporary prize-winning novels from around the globe, from Romantic poetry to the works of Australia's most influential writers. Students will study these texts in depth, examining them within historical, national, stylistic and generic contexts.
