Cíle předmětu
This course this semester will primarily focus on aspects of the nineteenth century English historical imagination mostly in relation to the historical novel but beginning with aspects of Byron's 'Childe Harold', before moving on to consideration of Walter Scott's 'Waverley', George Eliot's 'Romola', and Walter Pater's 'Marius the Epicurian'; a twentieth century coda will be provided by an introductory purview of John Cowper Powys's 'Porius' and Thomas Pynchon's 'Against the Day'. The aim of the course will to be introduce participants to an appreciation of the sensibility and implications of writing (and reading) about a substantially different historical era in relation to the present and the ways in which serious artistic writing can and must transcend the limitations of 'factual' history writing. We will begin with Byron, in his (but not our) present, move to Scott writing 'Sixty Years' hence and move simulatenously forwards and backwards in time with the novels by the subsequent writers.
