Cílem kurzu je seznámení s reprezentativními díly britského romantismu a viktoriánského románu a rozvíjení schopnosti texty analyzovat a interpretovat. Zatímco přednášky poskytují společenský, kulturní a teoretický kontext pro porozumění pojmů romantismus a viktoriánství, semináře se zaměřují na interpretaci kanonické lyriky anglického romantismu a vybraných děl previktoriánského a viktoriánského románu.
