Cíle předmětu
This semester's course will focus primarily on developments in the historical novel from Scott's 'Waverley' through to works by more contemporary writers such as John Fowles and John Berger. In each case, relations between national, social, and sexual politics will be comparatively analysed and discussed. The aims 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 its own present and to our own and the ways in which serious artistic writing seeks, among other things, to critique and transcend the limitations of 'factual' history writing.Students will be asked to read and discuss a series of novels from these perspectives and then to produce an analytical essay focused on an area related to this thematic.
