Assalam-o-Alaikum
Anybody who want to be helped in english literature, can ask me. I will try my best to do in whatever way i can.
Wish all of you good luck.

Hi, I am not sure if I should opt for english lit. You see I have read some of the books that are on the syllabus but poetry is my weak point. How did you decide that you wanted to opt for it or not? please let me know. thanks

Assalaam-o-aleekum~!
first of all I should better thank you up for providing every one here with the oppertunity to ask their problems regarding Eng.lit.
( one can show his gratitude to you,for allowing 'imself to talk to a blue blood.I mean among all the purple played persons ,who would have thought that a queen will allow the commons to dare to ask her highness anything?, no offence plz).
Anyways , I have some questions seeking help about my opted literature papers.So, if you kindly could further more vivify the nature of help which you are claiming to come up with ?( I mean, whether you are some pantisocratic bureaucrat who wants to share her lores in the field with the novices? or you will just provide them with some relevent helpful sites? or you will refer to some academic guidance kind of a thing?) I will be honoured to ask some questions if you nod with the first guess.hope to hear more from you soon.Allah Haafiz~!

i need of your suggestions in opting english lit as one of my selected subjects. someone advised me not to opt for it because it gives lesser marks comparatively. I am puzzled on his advice becoz he had opted for that and obtained only 101/200. Though i have read most of the books recommended for masters in english but dont feel master over them,

Thanks you island.
today i have read various topics in detail on CSS forum. In 2004 i took admission but could not complete the M.A English. Now i have reached again on the decision to take exam of M.A English. Please help me what subjects should be taken in Part-I, so that i could obtain good marks.

it is always said that eng lit. is never a scoring subject,which is quite true....
All i want to ask is wht do u think if somebody opts it in CSS.how high can he/she score if hav a benifit of doing masters in literature...but nt from punjab uni....

i hav seen few past papers,,i think the pattern is quite flexilbe with objectives to secure atleast 10 full marks.(i think objectives r 10 marks ony).with objectiv paper how much better chances r there to secure better...

thanks alot....

If you have studied literature before, then you would know that there are no Subjects in English Literature. It itself is a subject divided in 5 papers i.e.

PART I: Poetry, Drama, Novel, Prose and American Literature

Part II: Poetry, Drama, Novel, Criticism and an Optional Paper (English Language Teaching, Essay, Short stories, Linguistics) from which you have to choose only one.

You have to study for all of these papers. Now i didnt get what you really meant by "what subjects should be taken in Part-I, so that i could obtain good marks".

First of all dont pay attention to those,if any, who may say English Litt is not scoring; especially wen one has done masters in the subject and feels comfortable with it.

One can get full 40 marks in objective with even nominal preparations.

It proved strength for me..less time, more marks, i.e. 14o and they r my highest marks in any subjects.

Go ahead with confidence, grasp the subject well...U can surprise them.

thanks alot 4 encouraging me....i will definately go 4 eng.literature nw....after all i did masters n wasted 2 years in doing so...anyways thanks again....


does the syllabus difference matter?as i think css follows punjab university sayllabus mostly.

okk, i have never been in touch with english literature, or even english for that matter, and iam also faced by mediocre english problem which is even compelling me not to attempt css. could u advice me to opt for english literature?

P.S. reaslizing this is off topic, but can anyone guide me how and where to improve english please. i live in a small town so i cannot verify my competence at english at the moment.
