LITERARY HISTORY & CRITICISM
Literary History & Criticism Audio &
Video
If you're looking for context and analysis about the books your reading or listening to, then LearnOutLoud.com's 'Literary History & Criticism' section can enrich your taste in many of the great literary classics. The Teaching Company offers dozens of college level lecture courses in video and audio formats on the many subjects of literature. Some of the courses focus on a particular work or author such as "Joyce’s Ulysses" and "The Life and Work of Mark Twain", while others cover genre or literature as a whole: "Science Fiction: The Literature of the Technological Imagination" and "Understanding Literature and Life: Drama, Poetry and Narrative".

LearnOutLoud.com offers many more resources for those looking to deepen their literary appreciation. The Stanford Channel produces lectures by scholars in the literary field, and they can be digitally downloaded at Audible.com. You can also find introductions to Western literature like "The History of English Literature" and Harold Bloom's "The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages".
