Having completed the courses "Fundamentals of Literary Studies" and "History of Western European Literature" in the first and second semesters, students are expected to have acquired a comprehensive understanding of the principles of analysis of works of art; the main tendencies of the literary process; aesthetic, social factors influencing literary development. They should be able to verbally and in the written form formulate one's own thoughts and judgments based on theoretical knowledge from the course of the history of Ukrainian and foreign literature; to analyze genre and style features of works; systematize literary facts and phenomena; independently analyze and research individual aspects of the literary process.
Course content
The course comprises two components and is conducted in both the first and second semesters. However, the task and purpose of the proposed course differ: it aims not only to introduce students to Eastern monuments but also, in acquainting them with the early and mature Middle Ages in the East, to trace the evolution of monument types, changes in literary nature, aesthetic criteria, and influential factors that particularly impact development. The course also explores processes of individualization of creativity, the emergence of new themes and forms, the unevenness of literary development, and the synthesis of medieval traditions with the pre-Renaissance and Renaissance complex of ideas in Eastern literature. Moreover, it seeks to present the literature of the East as "one of the sources of the culture of the reviving West."
