| General description and relevant information |
The course is designed to give a general outline of some of the main authors, currents and movements in Literature written in English in the British Isles during the twentieth century. Given the time restrictions it will attempt to produce a broad picture, while entering into more depth by studying certain key figures. The period spans from the Edwardians, heavily influenced by Victorian culture, through the iconoclasm of Modernism and cultural production influenced by 1930s Socialism, to the explosion of Popular culture in the 1960s and the reassessment of cultural meaning in the Postmodernism of the 1980 and 1990s. By the end of the course, students should be able to recognise a 20th century piece of literary or theoretical writing, and to place it within its context on the basis of its cardinal ideas and assumptions.In this subject you only have the right to make the exam, because the degree
