- Oktatás célja
- This is not a survey course, i.e. it is not designed to give an overview of 20th century British and Irish Poetry. While the list of reading ranges from the very beginning of the century to its very end, and includes poets English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh, the emphasis is not on representativeness but on a thorough examination of specific texts.
