The topic of the seminars is the issue of the Czech literature during the years 1969 – 1989 (with the inner differentiation of 1970’s and 1980’s). Students will through seminar work (combining lectures, discussion and independent work in terms of essays and interpretations of selected works) acquire knowledge of literary movements, genres and trends of the postwar period of Czech literature.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the students will be able to explain the development of literary movements and genres of the given period of Czech literature in terms of poetry, prose and drama. They will be able to interpret literary works, and defend and support their opinions using their knowledge of literary studies.
