British Literature 1980 - 2011 (Part 2)
Part 2 of this course builds on our first ten weeks before Christmas, but as each text is studied individually, it is possible to pursue Part 2 separately.
We will explore the following texts:
On Chesil Beach - Ian McEwan.
Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell (2004)
Day - A.L. Kennedy.
Affinity - Sarah Waters.
The Sense of an Ending - Julian Barnes.
There will be a wealth of opportunity for discussion of these texts and their themes, which will involve memory, how narratives are structured and gender issues. The texts will also introduce concepts relating to how one reads texts closely and aligns these texts with modern literary movements.
