This course has four Blocks and deals with the varieties as well as forms of prose – both fictional and non-fictional. But before we talk about these, let us consider what prose is. Let us take an example, from a great French comedy Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme by the writer Moliere (1622-73). This is the story of a man who has suddenly made a lot of money but does not have social status. In short, he would like to be a ‘gentleman’. So, he employs several teachers in order to learn how to move in polite society. One day, during the course of conversation, his elocution teacher tells him that what he speaks is prose. His surprised response is: ‘To think I have been speaking prose these last forty years without knowing it!’ Isn’t that the case with many of us? But is the prose of everyday conversation the same as “literary” prose? Or is it different? Is “literary” prose more elaborate, artificial and stylized? In our course, we shall look at various samples of literary prose and try to understand what constitutes its “literariness”. You will read a wide and interesting selection of varieties and forms of prose. This course consists of 4 Blocks: Block 1: Varieties of Prose Block 2: Forms of Prose: Short Stories and Essays Block 3: Biography and Autobiography Block 4: Diary, Speech, Letters and Travelogues. In Block 1 we have dealt with three varieties of prose: descriptive, narrative and expository. But can these three varieties be separated into watertight compartments? No. it is only for purpose of analysis that we have made this distinction. You will find that the dividing line between these categories is rather thin and you can find samples of all three varieties in any one prose form. For example, if we take a passage from a short story or novel, we may find that it may have description, narration and exposition all in the space of a few lines. In the next 3 Blocks we shall introduce you to prose forms such as the short story, essays, biography, autobiography, diary, speeches, letters and travelogues. The aim of this course is to improve your reading skills by exposing you to a wide range of prose selections. Why do we study literature? The study of literature involves not only enjoyment but also awareness. This stems from our participation in the human experience which is highlighted in particular uses of language and various literary devices. We must understand what these device are if we are to enjoy the full range of aesthetic experience that literature has to offer. #meansofstudy #Ajeetkumar What is Literary Terms? | history of English literature | English literature | literature ,,, Basic to advanced Full Video below 👇🏻 watch fast 😁    • English literature basic to advanced || ba...   ........................... ............
