Outline (in English)

Course Outline: “Culture and Society of the English Speaking World VI (Literature and Society C)” aims to introduce students to British literature in the context of British culture, society and history. Students will analytically and critically read some representative British literary works, published around the turn of the 20th century, that are obsessed with Victorian fin-de-siècle anxieties, and be introduced to their social and cultural contexts.

Learning Objectives: By the end of the course, students should be able to do the following: 1) understand the details of each novella/novel, and its cultural and historical context. 2) understand these works and their authors in the context of British literary history. 3) read and understand parts of each work, in English. 

Learning activities outside of classroom: Students are expected to come to each class meeting well prepared by reading the assigned part of the text and doing the worksheet, given online, in advance. The required study time is about 4 hours per class.

Grading Policies: Grading will be decided based on worksheets (40%), reflection papers (20%), and the end-term examination (40%)
