LONS LIUK 120 - Wrtrs London: Modern British Literature

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

The aim of the course is to discover how the many facets of London's cityscape have been represented by poets and novelists over the last century and a half. It is not possible to ignore Dickens whose surrealist vision of London as a presence that shaped the lives of its communities dominates all others. Some saw it as an Eldorado, some as a prison, a refuge, a vast market-place, a gigantic playground. Students will study and discuss a selection of works from writers such as: Dickens, Wordsworth, Conrad, T.S. Eliot, Stevenson, Conan Doyle, Forster, Woolf, Orwell, Graham Greene, Martin Amis, Hanif Kureishi and others. (London, England, http://www.arcadia.edu/abroad/gbBritishStudies ) AUC Designation: Cl
