SECTION A: BANNED BOOKS.

  1. Write an essay on the representation of sexuality in any two novels on the course.
  2. How is it that so many works once designated obscene or blasphemous have ended up being regarded as ‘classics’? Make reference to two novels on the course in your response.
  3. Consider any two novels on the course in terms of how their perceived transgressiveness specifically relates to prevailing conditions in the society which banned or proscribed them.
  4. The Lady Chatterley’s Lover trial saw ideas such as ‘art for art’s sake’ (art should be judged purely on aesthetic, rather than moral, grounds) and ‘realism’ (the obligation of the work of art to represent all aspects of life, including the unpleasant or sordid) being used as grounds for legal defence. Write an essay on the relevance of one or both of these ideas to two novels on the course.
  5. Discuss any ONE of the following in relation to any two novels on the course: (i) religion (ii) the role of the reader (iii) transgressive language (iv) morality and/or amorality.

SECTION B: CULT FICTION.

  1. Discuss how any TWO writers on the course parody and/or subvert the conventions of particular types of popular fiction.
  2. Make a case for interpreting any TWO novels on the course as ‘Catholic novels’.
  3. Discuss inter-textuality in relation to the work of any two writers on the course.
  4. "It is not the novelist’s job to preach; it is his duty to show" (Anthony Burgess). In the light of this statement, discuss the tension between the writer-as-moralist and the writer-as-artist in any TWO texts on the course.
  5. Discuss any ONE of the following in relation to any TWO writers on the course: (a) the representation of consumer culture (b) the role of the narrator (c) the alienation of the individual from society (d) experimentation with conventional literary language.
