Cíle předmětu
The course will look at aspects of British 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 three trilogies, and in one case tetralogy, written by Pat Barker and Ford Madox Ford in relation to the First World War, and by Evelyn Waugh and Olivia Manning in relation to the Second World War, plus T.E. Lawrence's famous 'autobiographical' work 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom'. The aim of the course will be to examine and compare the different approaches to war and wartime society each of these works take.By the end of the course participants will have discussed, analysed and compared the works in question and produced an essay focusing on specific aspects of issues raised.Materials are only available from the library in e-prezencka form except for 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' and Ford's 'No More Parades' tetralogy which are available on the internet or can be purchased in cheap Wordsworth Classics form.
Výstupy z učení
By the end of the course the students will have indicated their ability to grasp the major social and cultural issues attached to the events and people involved in the two major wars considered through study and written analysis of the relevant works of fiction covered on the course.
