The aim of the course is to familiarise the students with the development and contemporary standing of significant world literatures written in English. The course is taught by means of seminars, whose main focus is analysis of seminal works of contemporary Irish, Canadian, Australian and Scottish literary production on the background of the cultures, from which they have sprung, and from the perspective of postcolonial and poststructuralist theories.
