Course objectives (in Czech)
The course focuses on aspects of longer pieces by a number of Anglo-American modernist and neo-modernist poets, beginning with work by Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot then moving to that of William Carlos Williams, Charles Olson, Edward Dorn, David Jones, Basil Bunting, J.H.Prynne, Geoffrey Hill, Roy Fisher, Barry McSweeney, Peter Reading and Tony Harrison.The main focus will be on relations between poetic form,culture, capital and location. The course is offered in part as a companion to Course AJ26001 on place, ecology and global capital, though this is not meant to imply that participation in that course is a requirement.
