Cíl

This course examines the development of British literature since 1945 on the background of historical, social and cultural events. In the seminars we will explore major writers and literary movements of the period as well as recurrent themes and motifs in the assigned readings. At the end of the course students will be able to identify major figures of British literature of the 20th century, make their own connections between the assigned reading, question and actively interpret them as well as create their own critical evaluation.Throughout the semester students are encouraged to link theory in the classroom to practice at schools via practical tasks.
