Introductory post about MA in English Distance mode at English and Foreign Language University

 Hello all,

English and Foreign Language University (EFLU) doesn't need any introduction and it is the topmost university in India for English Language and Foreign Language

Unfortunately, there are hardly 200+ students only who joins EFLU's MA English in distance mode (As it is tough, rigid, exam centre is in Hyderabad only) and our regular Janta wants an easy degree or tag which EFLU certainly doesn't provide.


EFLU course content are really worth


Through this blog I am trying to discuss important points related to the course

For MA part I following are the courses:


MA Part-I 

Academic Reading and Writing (Compulsory) 

Introduction to Linguistics (Compulsory) 

British Literature I (Compulsory) 

British Literature II (Compulsory)

I am starting with the questions related to British Literature II

This course continues the study of British literature begun in the previous course i.e. British Literature I. It focuses on British literature of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, i.e., Romantic, Victorian and Modern British literature. As in the previous course, the focus is on representative texts that will familiarize learners with the genres, important authors and the literary-historical background that shaped these important ages in English literature.
