Cíle předmětu
This semester's course will focus primarily on a selection of 'long' short stories, or novellas, by writers from the British Isles, focusing this year mainly on writers from the later part of the nineteenth and the earlier part of the twentieth century. The aim will be to explore and compare the formal elements of these fictions and relate them to the experiential areas with which they engage. This will involve a brief exposure to elements of narrative theory at the beginning of the course.By the end of the course the student will have written an essay in which they demonstrate their ability to analyze aspects of the short fiction discussed in terms of relating form to content in the ways covered in the course.During the course students will be expected to discuss ways in which formal elements of the works discussed deviate from traditional norms and the way in which these formal innovations impinge upon the authors' concern with their subject matter.Students will also be expected to gain the skill of going beyond discussing characters as if they were simply depictions of people and the notion of writers depicting a ready-made world by attempting to think of the way in which an author's narrative organizes events and the precise role which character functions might be playing in a given story.
