Cíle předmětu
This semester’s course will cover aspects of mid to late 19th and earlier twentieth century British and French (in English translation) literature. The aim of the course will be to consider how both literatures explore and develop the societies in which they are situated as well as to consider interrelations between the two societies and their literatures. Writers whose work is considered in the course will include Flaubert, Hardy, James, Zola, Gissing, Conrad, Kipling, Proust, Forster, and Sartre.
Výstupy z učení
Students completing the course should have gained a better understanding of relations between modern society and literature in the period considered, in terms of developing ways to create a fuller understanding of relations between a wide range of individuals, social and těchnical trends, critical problems and approaches developed in the relevant literatures to addressing, examining, and dramatising these problems from a variety of philosophical and aesthetic perspectives.
