Cíle předmětu
This course will engage various texts and contexts of the Modernist movement, namely those of Henry James, D. H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, T. E. Lawrence, W. B. Yeats, J. M. Synge, Lady Gregory, E. M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Virginia Woolf, A. J. A. Symons, Fr. Rolfe, Eric Gill, and James Joyce. Special attention will be paid to how various literary and visual forms are employed for biographical, political, social, cultural, and religious ends. This period is unique for its aspirations as much as its accomplishments, for its experimental and avant-garde tendencies, for its conception of the writer as endeavouring to, in Forster’s phrasing, “only connect.” Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to discuss the writing of others with sensitivity and appreciation; have an understanding of the contexts of English Modernism; and be familiar with the key writers and their texts.
