Literary Aesthetics & Poetics is the study of poetry, prose, dramatic works, and other genres of oral and written expression across languages to understand their structures, meanings, contexts, and reception over time.  Scholarship in the department examines and critically interprets poetry, short story and the novel, theater and film, treatises, histories, essays, letters and journalism through historical periods using philological methods as well as literary and cultural theory.
