The objective of the course is to introduce to students the literary movements in English literature of the 19th and 20th centuries. Based on cultural and historical events, the first segment of the course will be devoted to the approaches, development, and characteristic aspects of Romanticism in the works the famous poets of the so-called Lake School (W. Wordsworth, S.T. Coleridge, R. Southey) and poets of the second Romantic wave (G.G. Byron, P.B. Shelley, J. Keats). After, the characteristics and development of Victorian literature will be examined, including essay works and novels (Ch. Dickens, W.M. Thackeray), poetry and drama. Victorian female authors will also be included and the reflection of the "fin de siecle" in literature. The second half of the course will focus on English literary work of the 20th century, and namely on the emergence of the Realist novel and short story (H.G. Wells, J. Galsworthy), Modernism (The Bloomsbury Group), the literary experiments in the work of James Joyce, the developmental tendencies of British prose (e.g. The dissatisfied youth, the new type of Novel Hero), drama (from Sean O'Casey to the absurd drama of the end of the 20th century) and poetry. By using authentic texts analyzed in practical seminars, the course is aimed at systematically developing the students' interpretational and analytical abilities. |
