The aim of the course is exploring and understanding four periods of British literature and their defining texts. The four chosen works are among the most important texts of British culture: The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, King James Bible, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, and Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. What socio-political currents enabled the creation of these famous texts and how did these works of art, subsequently, influence society and shape British culture? The course is divided into 4 sections, each consisting of three weekly sessions. In each section we examine the text itself; the background and history of the author; the social, political, and economic context of the work’s creation, publication and reception; and the role of the text in British history. Each session consists of a lecture by the teacher, and a presentation by a group of students who also chair the following discussion. The course assessment is based on each student’s participation in discussions of weekly compulsory readings (30%), the quality of analysis and presentation of various texts/topics (30%), and the final essay (40%).
