How can I learn English literature? The fastest ways
The beauty of every language is in its literature. Thanks to the many influential and renowned authors and poets in the English language, English literature is a gripping subject for different people. Most people rely on literature to enrich their life experiences and look at life from different aspects and through the words of different authors. But other people are so engaged with literature that they take a professional approach to it. Many students choose to pursue their education in English literature and earn a university degree in this field.
However, as absorbing as English literature is, understanding it is not as easy as learning general English. When dealing with literary texts, you need to dig up the meaning because the language is quite indirect, and there are lots of literary devices you need to learn in order to grasp the meaning of different genres of literary texts.
Explore the infinite world of English literature
The world of English literature is only bound by imagination. Literature is where ambiguity is not a flaw but a merit. Different people can have varying comprehension of one literary text depending on the angle from which they approach the text. To make matters even more complex, your perception of a poem now would most probably be different from your perception of it the next time you read it. In the world of literature, the borders between the writer, the work, and the reader are very fine. Therefore, it is essential to perform literary analysis and develop critical skills to get the most out of English literature and take full enjoyment of it.
The indirectness of English literature is due to the prevalence of literary devices and figures of speech. Although the two terms are often used interchangeably, we can classify them into two groups. Literary device is a broad term including elements like metaphor, simile, personification, irony, allusion, etc. Figures of speech include metonymy, paradox, oxymoron, etc. All of these elements are meant to intensify the meaning of the text and make it more enjoyable.
Prevalent genres in literature
A common way to approach literature is through diverse genres. We can classify literary works into genres based on their themes, settings, and narrative techniques. The broadest classification is fiction (created by imagination), non-fiction (based on factual information), poetry, and drama.
Each genre is further classified into subgenres. Popular subgenres of fictional literature include novels, short stories, romance, fantasy, science fiction, and the like. For non-fictional works, we can point to biography, autobiography, history, self-help, etc. Poetry includes subgenres like an ode, epic, sonnet, elegy, Haiku, etc., and finally, drama is categorized into two main subgenres, namely tragedy and comedy.
The above classifications are not even the tip of the iceberg. There is far more in literature than what we briefly mentioned here. Therefore, you need to invest a tremendous amount of time and energy in order to familiarize yourself with the concepts of English literature.
What is the best way to learn concepts of English literature?
Extensive reading is the key to understanding the manifold aspects of English literature. You need to be curious and enthusiastic about literary works and how they are inspired. That is, you need to interpret each work with regard to its cultural and historical contexts. Therefore, you need to gain historical information as well as literary knowledge. Additionally, you need to learn literary criticism to distinguish between literary texts in terms of different schools of thought like feminism, colonialism, modernism, etc.
Another effective way to learn literary concepts is participation in literary discussions and debates. You can take notes and later reflect on the discussed topics and add your genuine views to the notes. This method helps you develop analytical skills and creative writing.
The bulk of information you need to know in the field of literature is quite overwhelming. And if you cannot spend enough time, you will not learn the various topics of English literature. Here is where English literature tutors can come to the rescue.
Online literature tutor: your reliable guide to learning English literature
A literature English tutor online can significantly shorten the period needed to learn the concepts of English literature. A literature teacher has extensive knowledge of all of the notions we mentioned before and many more subjects. They can teach literature lessons seamlessly by linking different concepts together or elaborating on the differences between different genres or literary schools.
An English literature tutor can provide valuable insights that have arisen out of many years of teaching experience and contemplation on literature. Experienced tutors not only have rich literary knowledge, but also, they know how to explain each concept to keep the students engaged.
Who is the best English literature tutor?
The best English literature tutor is a tutor who can cater to your needs and objectives and personalize the lessons as you desire. Do you want to learn the lessons from scratch, or do you just need information about a certain literary school or a genre in literature? Are you learning English literature to gain literary knowledge, or are you aspiring to be a writer? The right tutor uses the resources and materials that help you reach your goals in the most effective and fastest way. Moreover, with private tutors, you receive all the attention, and you can ask as many questions as you desire.
The best literature tutor is someone who appreciates the value and beauty of literature and can share their experience with the students. A literature teacher unveils the author's or poet's intentions in the light of biographical, historical, and cultural information. That is, they do not suffice for the text itself, and they explain how the author is inspired to create it.
