Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course we are going to read and discuss 20th-Century Anglophone poetry. We will move from a selection of poems reflecting the Late Victorian aesthetic consensus to poems of the Great War, experimental poetry of the Avantgarde movement (Imagism, Vorticism, Dadaism etc.), the High Modernist movement, postmodern, and postcolonial poetry.
We will also discuss some seminal studies reflecting the theoretical background in the field.
