- This is a survey course designed to introduce, in lecture format, the history of English literature in the British Isles between 1890 and the 1960s, highlighting the major periods, genres, oeuvres and individual works of the era.
- Tantárgy tartalma
- Aesthetic and poetic concerns of the late Victorian and turn-of-the-century decades and the articulation of these concerns in the various genres (Wilde, James); modernist trends in the novel (Conrad, Joyce, Woolf); modernism and its antecedents in poetry (Hardy, Yeats, Eliot); narrative fiction and modernity at mid-century (Huxley, Orwell); metaphysics and moral philosophy in the post-World War II novel (Murdoch, Golding); dramatic revival on the British Isles and the theatre of the absurd (Synge, Beckett, Pinter); the poetry of the Auden-generation and Dylan Thomas; the Movement poets (Larkin and his contemporaries). Subsidiary issues to be highlighted include the Irish revival, women’s writing, and utopian fiction.
