- Oktatás célja
- The primary aim is to hone skills of interpretation through paying very close attention to uniquely subtle, complex and beautiful poems. While this is not a survey course, it will inevitably include a very fast journey through the history of English poetry from Early Modernity to (almost) the present day.
