The course is a continuation of British literature I (BRLI1). Therefore, it focuses on the period of British literature from the end of the 18th century until present. The aim of the course is to provide, in chronological order, overview of and introduction to main authors, their works, and specificities of individual periods, trends, and their overlap; all in a broader context of political and cultural background. A special emphasis is placed on the more recent works of the 20th century. Seminars complement the lectures in that they encourage application of theoretical knowledge on primary representative texts.
Students will acquire socio-cultural, textual and analytical kompetence in literary areas. They will be able to work approach materials critically in a context extending beyond the boundaries of literature, which is a necessary prerequisite for their further independent work.
