This unit aims to introduce students to the richness and range of literature written in English in the years since 1945. It will look at fiction, poetry, drama and other kinds of writing where relevant. Students will be encouraged to relate their own past and present reading to the texts selected for discussion.
Aims:
By the end of the course students should:
1 x 1-hour lecture and 1 x 1.5 hour seminar per week.
Both summative elements will assess ILOs 1-5.
Detailed reading lists will be provided by individual tutors prior to the start of teaching.
