This course is a ‘Detailed Textual Study’ course, one of the Core courses under the 

B.A.B.Ed. English Literature programme. It is thus intended to guide students through a 

close reading and analysis of specific landmark texts from English literature. The specific 

course detailed here aims to acquaint students closely with two important texts of English 

literature: The Rape of the Lock, a mock-epic poem by Alexander Pope, and Gulliver’s 

Travels, the famous prose satire by Jonathan Swift.
