Předpoklady

Course requirements for full-time students are a minimum of 75% attendance and familiarity with the required reading demonstrated through active participation in seminars. Full-time students are also required to pass a test at the end of the first semester and an exam at the end of the second semester. Combined students are required to submit (and pass) three written assignments each semester, pass a test at the end of the first and an exam at the end of the second semester. The final grade is determined by both coursework (50% - 25 x 2) and exam results (50% - 25 x 2). Weightings may be adjusted to reflect improvements in the latter stages of the course.

Cíle předmětu

Cíl: This is the first of two seminars providing students with an introduction to English literature. The course begins with an outline history of the key periods and figures of English literature up to the 19th Century, and then focuses on and contrasts two moments of English literature, Victorianism and Modernism. This first semester focuses on the Victorian period, in which we can easily recognise modernity and through which we can still trace the influences of previous literary periods. By the end of the course students will have a clear idea of how the Victorian era figures in relation to both the 20th Century and previous periods; they will be familiar with the central themes of Victorian culture and how these were variously represented in the literature; and they will have had practise of analysing prosody and close reading of prose.
