Course Objectives

Through the intensive study of several recent literary texts students will learn more about the British psyche, culture and history that generated them. They will hopefully be confronted with some of the most important aspects of the human condition, both in a sense of that condition as peculiarly British and as a generality.

There are no prerequisites for the course beyond a love of reading and a total commitment to reading every one of the primary works in full, and, most importantly, an open mind.
