Cíle předmětu
In the seminars we will explore major writers and literary movements of the period as well as analyze recurrent themes and motifs in the assigned readings. At the end of the course students will be able to identify major figures of British literature of the 20th century, make their own connections between the assigned reading and also question and actively interpret them as well as create their own critical evaluation.
Osnova
  • This course begins with the premise that British literature of the first half of the twentieth century was shaped by profound concerns about the present. If modernism is often understood as a unified and coherent aesthetic movement, championing its own modernity, we will pay attention to its spirit of ambivalence, contradiction, and deep conflict, especially with respect to such vexed topics as gender and sexuality, empire and nationalism, war and revolution, production and consumption, and political power. Our particular angle for addressing these large issues will be the representation of past, present, and future in a range of literary works. Authors include E.M.Forster, Woolf, Joyce, Lawrence, T.S.Eliot, Orwell, Beckett, Amis, Pinter, and Osborn.
