The aim of this course is to consolidate and deepen the students’ existing knowledge of British and American literature through complex and cross-section themes and exploring this knowledge in wider historical, social and cultural contexts. The course is conceived as class discussions and students’ presentations based on preceding independent preparation and reading.
The main objective of the course is to enable students to relate the selected texts to their wider social, historical and cultural backgrounds. Poslední úprava: Topolovská Tereza, PhDr., Ph.D. (21.02.2017)
