Trosolwg

Daeth Sarah Gamble i Abertawe o ogledd-ddwyrain Lloegr yn 2004, yn dilyn swyddi academaidd ym Mhrifysgol Sunderland a Phrifysgol Northumbria. Teitl ei swydd yw Athro Cyswllt Saesneg gyda Rhywedd, sy’n paru ei dau brif ddiddordeb academaidd yn daclus – llenyddiaeth yr 20fed a’r 21ain ganrif, a theori rhywedd a chwiar.

Fel ysgolhaig, mae’n awdurdod penodol ar fywyd a gwaith Angela Carter, testun ei monograff ysgolheigaidd llawn cyntaf: Angela Carter: Writing from the Front Line ym 1997. Yn 2004, cyhoeddodd Angela Carter: A Literary Life sydd, er nad yn fywgraffiad swyddogol, yn adrodd hanes bywyd Carter drwy astudio ei hysgrifennu. Hi hefyd yw golygydd The Routledge Guide to Feminism and Postfeminism ac Angela Carter: A Reader’s Guide to Essential Criticism, a chyd-olygydd (gyda Caleb Silvyer a Jennifer Gustar) Ludics and Laughter as Feminist Aesthetic: Angela Carter at Play (i ddod yn 2021). Yn ogystal, mae wedi cyhoeddi nifer o erthyglau ar ffuglen gyfoes i fenywod, y gothig a’r ffantastig. Ar hyn o bryd mae’n cychwyn ar fonograffeg newydd sy’n ceisio archwilio dylanwad celf ar ysgrifennu Angela Carter.

Mae’n dysgu ar lefel israddedig ac ôl-raddedig, ac mae wedi ymrwymo i feithrin ymgysylltiad myfyrwyr drwy arferion addysgu arloesol a dyfeisgar. Yn 2012, derbyniodd Wobr Addysgu Nodedig.

EN-112 Approaches to Gender in English Literature

The association of masculinity with the Word has dominated Western culture. In the Biblical story of Genesis, God creates Adam first, then Eve from Adam¿s rib. Women¿s ancillary role in the act of creation has persisted, leading to Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar to open their study of women and writing, The Madwoman in the Attic (1975), with the question: `Is the pen a metaphorical penis?¿. On this module, we will be looking at examples of writers who not only challenge the masculinisation of authorship, but also use their work to openly resist it. We will be reading a range of texts from a range of periods ¿ medieval, early modern, the fin de siecle and the contemporary - which open out spaces for female and queer voices within literature. In order to help them generate their own readings of these works, students will also be introduced to debates within contemporary gender theory, drawing on the work of key thinkers such as Virginia Woolf, Julia Kristeva and Judith Butler.
EN-120 English Essentials

This is a skills-based module which will equip students with the technical and critical expertise that is necessary for their academic journey in English Literature and Creative Writing. It is designed to support the transition from post-16 study to undergraduate study and to show students *how* to become successful scholars of English. How should we read texts? How do we write essays? Focusing on an exciting anthology of texts selected by the English academics at Swansea, this team-taught module uncovers the power of written language. We will explore how writers inspire and challenge their readers, how to think critically, how to close-read, how to construct powerful arguments and how to produce written work that is rigorous, academic and convincing. This module empowers students to think, write, and persuade.
EN-237 Exploring the Bloody Chamber: Medieval to Postmodern

This module will analyse narratives of female enclosure and gender conflict in a selection of texts from the fourteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Our specific focus is the story of the serial wife-killer Bluebeard: we will begin by examining variants of this fairy-tale narrative before both tracing it back to its mediaeval antecedents and following its continuing presence as an influence on more contemporary texts. In the process, we will discuss theories of gender, race and class in order to account for the persistent presence of this story in Western culture.
EN-3031 Dissertation - English Literature

The Dissertation is an optional, two-semester, 40-credit module designed to develop high-level academic skills and intellectual independence in the students. A first-semester skills-building programme will include: research skills, summary skills, bibliographic skills, ability to synthesise succinctly, planning and organisational skills, correct presentation of a thesis and bibliography, presentational skills and public speaking. Students conduct research on a subject of their choice, devised in consultation with a member of the English literature staff. The topic will be devised to fall within staff research and teaching specialisms, broadly defined. Students attend group sessions on research skills in Semesters 1 and 2, and have individual meetings with supervisors in Semester 2.
EN-3050 Written in Blood: Reading the Vampire

From Nosferatu to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Barney the Vampyre to the Twilight saga, the vampire is an enduring ¿ one might say persistently `un-dead¿ - presence within culture. This module builds on students¿ encounter with Bram Stoker¿s novel Dracula at Level One, and will take up the study of the literary vampire at a more advanced level. Students will be required to draw on a range of gender, cultural and critical theory in order to examine the changing face of the vampire within literature, and its apparently infinite ability to function as a vehicle for society¿s anxieties concerning sexuality, gender, race and class. Students should note that this module has a heavy reading load, and requires participation in online as well as seminar discussion.
EN-3053 The Swansea University International Dylan Thomas Prize Module

This module examines the hyper-contemporary literature longlisted on The Swansea University International Dylan Thomas Prize. Each week will be devoted to examining a different aspect of the shortlisting process, as well as exploring the 12 longlisted books--all of which will have been published in the previous year. In this module, students will have access to literary agents, publishers, marketers, and prize judges, all the while reading and critiquing brand new literature. These texts have not been read on a literature degree before, and this course changes year on year. It is an exciting module that differs with each cohort, and is driven by the books students like to read.
EN-M31 Dissertation

Individual project devised and defined in discussion between supervisor and student.
EN-M41 Research Practice in English / Contemporary Writing / Welsh Writing in English

Supervised project on research methodology in practice. Students build a detailed bibliographical plan for their MA dissertation project.
EN-M67 Angela Carter

This module will examine the work of Angela Carter, one of the most inventive and controversial British writers of recent times. Although she was a twentieth-century author who participated fully in postmodernist debates, her texts habitually allude to fictional forms of the past, such as the fairy tale, medieval allegory and the Gothic. More problematically, her apparent admiration for the work and career of the Marquis de Sade- which motivated her to experiment with the Sadeian pornographic narrative in her own writing- seems incompatible with her claim that she was a feminist. In this module, students wil have an opportunity to study a selection of Carter's writing in depth alongside the critical debates it has initiated. Her body of work covers many different modes: accordingly, we will read a selection of novels, short stories and her little known poetry in order to develop an understanding of Carter's use of literary allusion, her feminist and political views, and her portrayal of the self and sexuality.
EN-M89 Publishing: Cultures and Contexts

This team-taught module introduces students to different cultures and contexts of the publishing industry and its history. Students will gain both practical and intellectual skills across a range of topics taught by staff from English Literature and Creative Writing. The module begins with focused seminars on book history and print culture, and then moves on to workshops in which students will gain a familiarity with industry terminology and the mechanisms of the book trade. Students will be able to choose from different methods of assessment that develop academic or industry-focused skills.
