The 20th century is a century that entailed groundbreaking revolutions in the literary world, from the Modernist period to Postcolonial Theory and Gender Studies, moulding and re-shaping the definition of both literature and text, the author and the reader, leading to the diversity in approaches and readings that are prevalent today. The seminar familiarises students with crucial writings of 20th century Anglophone Literature in prose, drama and poetry, including analyses of modernist, post-modern and contemporary texts. Apart from the selected texts that can be found in the ‘Semesterapparat’, the required texts are:
Churchill, Carol. Top Girls. London: Methuen London Ltd., 1982.
Kureishi, Hanif. The Buddha of Suburbia. London: Faber and Faber, 1990.
Salinger, J.D. Catcher in the Rye. London: Penguin Books, 1994.
Woolf, Virginia, To the Lighthouse, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008
Students are advised to read at least two of the required texts before the semester begins. The course requirements are: regular attendance, active participation in class discussions and the completion of the home assignments (mandatory). |
