Literature: British Colonial & Post Colonial Literature 10
This course will explore the following texts: Heart of Darkness -
Joseph Conrad; Short Stories by Kipling; The Siege of Krishnapur -
JG Farrell; The Jewel in the Crown - Paul Scott, and The English
Patient - Michael Ondaatje.
The course will track the decline of Empire and the concomitant
social and political uncertainty, the relationship between the colonial
and the colonised Other, and develop themes relating to identity and
the subjective nature of historical revision.
There will be ample scope for discussion of at times difficult and
controversial debates, and we will focus on the continuing
relationship that exists between contemporary writers and later
writers vis-a-vis issues of guilt and responsibility.
