Cíle předmětu
The course will look at aspects of British and American fiction which derive their principal creative focus from being situated in a time of war. In this case, the wars in question are the First and Second World Wars. This year's course will look at four trilogies written by Pat Barker and Ford Madox Ford (the fourth volume of his 'tetralogy', which he regretted publishing, will not be included) in relation to the First World War, and by Evelyn Waugh and Olivia Manning in relation to the Second World War. The aim of the course will be to examine and compare the different approaches to war and wartime society each of these works take.Each lesson will also include a poem or poems from the collection 'Wound Response' by J.H. Prynne. By the end of the course participants will have discussed, analysed and compared the works in question and produced an essay focusing on specific aspects of issues raised.Materials are available from the library in e-prezencka form.
