Cíle předmětu
This is the second of two seminars providing students with an introduction to English literature. The course picks up where it left off in the previous semester and makes the transition to modernist English language literature via emergent themes in late Victorian literature and Edwardian society.
Výstupy z učení
Students will have a clear sense of the principle developments in English language literature over the last century and a half, specifically of how Modernist literature relates to earlier periods and subsequent developments; they will be familiar with the key themes and techniques of Modernist literature; and they will have further practise of analysing prosody and close reading of prose.
