The aim of this course is to deepen and consolidate students' knowledge of English and British literature from the beginnings to the present by means of complex and thematically structured thematic units, and their broader historical, social, political and cultural contexts.The seminars consist of the teacher's general information concerning the theme, short students' presentations and moderated discussion based on students home preparation and reading. At the end of the course, students write an essay on a literary theme in which they are supposed to support their ideas and argumentation by their knowledge of English literature they have read.
