Cíle předmětu
The course will look at aspects of British and American fiction which derive their principal creative focus from being situated in a time of war. In this case, the wars in question are the First and Second World Wars. This year's course will look at an English tetralogy By Ford Madox Ford, set during the time of the First World War, an English trilogy set at the time of the Second World War,by Evelyn Waugh both of them essentially contemporary with the wars themselves. In addition a contemporary British trilogy, written by a female author , Pat Barker, on the subject of the First World War and social and sexual issues related to it will complete the course. The aim of the course will be to examine and compare the different approaches to war and wartime society each of these novels take. By the end of the course participants will have discussed and analysed the works in question and produced an essay focusing on specific aspects of issues raised.Materials are available from the library in e-prezencka form.
